Pre-planning application highways advice service

Before you submit a planning application, we recommend that you discuss your proposed development with Lancashire County Council. We are the Highway Authority.

Why early engagement matters

• Early discussions help you get accurate and up-to-date advice about how your development may affect the highway network.

• This advice can help prevent problems that might affect your application.

• Early engagement supports developers and helps make the planning process smoother.

If you have questions or need advice, please contact Lancashire County Council’s Highway Authority.
