Highway boundary information

Request highway boundary information.

If you need to establish the boundary of a property or piece of land with the highway, send us your enquiry using our online form. We cannot answer enquiries by phone.

Attach a clear plan showing the section of highway you are interested in. We charge between £80 and £480 (plus VAT) to cover the research cost. If your enquiry needs more extensive research, we charge £75 an hour. We also charge a fee of at least £80 (plus VAT) for supplying copies of legal agreements, including Section 38 agreements. We'll confirm the fee once we receive your enquiry.

Once you pay the fee, we respond to approximately 95 per cent of enquiries within 5 working days. It may take longer if we need to visit the site or carry out more detailed research.
