Section 38 agreement copies

We can provide copies of a Section 38 Agreement (or associated documents) covering the road upon which your property is located​.

This is only available where the road has not been adopted by the Highways Authority.

We charge a fee to reflect the cost of administration and copying incurred.

It is not usually possible to provide copies of these documents electronically due to the large plans connected to the legal agreement.
