We deliver Section 278 highway works in Wandsworth and across South London for new access junctions and visibility splays. Section 278 works are required when development impacts existing highways — new access, alterations or works on the public network.

It is often used when recurring issues, repair decisions, or planned works need evidence-based scoping before major commitments are made.
