Section 278 Highway Solutions in Wandsworth
Wandsworth continues to experience substantial residential, commercial, and mixed-use development, with major regeneration taking place across areas such as Battersea, Nine Elms, Putney, and Wandsworth Town. As development increases, improvements to the surrounding highway network are often required to maintain safety, accessibility, and traffic efficiency. Where works affect the public highway, a Section 278 Agreement is commonly required before construction can begin.
At Capital TP, we provide comprehensive Section 278 support throughout Wandsworth, assisting clients with every stage of the process. From the initial highway design and feasibility assessments through to technical approvals, stakeholder coordination, and construction support, we ensure all highway proposals satisfy local authority requirements. Whether your development requires new access arrangements,
junction modifications, pedestrian crossings, footway improvements, or cycling infrastructure, our team delivers technically robust solutions that minimise delays and support successful project delivery.

Our Section 278 Work in Wandsworth
Capital TP recently supported a residential-led development within Wandsworth that required significant alterations to the surrounding public highway before occupation could take place. The proposed works included a redesigned vehicle access, widened footways, upgraded pedestrian crossing facilities, and improvements to local visibility splays.
Our team prepared the complete Section 278 design package, carried out highway geometry assessments, and managed the technical approval process with the local highway authority. Throughout the project, we worked closely with the developer, architects, engineers, and contractors to resolve design queries and maintain programme milestones. We also coordinated responses to technical comments and ensured all required documentation was submitted promptly.
By delivering a fully compliant Section 278 package and maintaining clear communication throughout the approval process, the highway works progressed without unnecessary delays, allowing the wider development to remain on schedule and meet its planning obligations.
Delivering Compliant Highway Infrastructure
A professionally managed Section 278 Agreement helps ensure that highway improvements are designed, approved, and delivered efficiently while meeting all statutory requirements. Poorly prepared highway submissions can result in lengthy approval periods, additional costs, and construction delays.
At Capital TP, we combine transport planning expertise with practical highway engineering knowledge to provide a complete Section 278 service. Our experienced consultants identify potential issues early, develop practical engineering solutions, and work collaboratively with local authorities to achieve timely approvals. By managing every stage of the process, we reduce project risk, improve programme certainty, and help developers satisfy planning conditions with confidence.
