Commuted sums - Find a freedom of information request

Request

Upon creation of new highway assets a Highway Authority is allowed to impose commuted sums upon the developer

1. Please could you advise me on what highway assets you will apply commuted sums, at what financial rate, and over what time period / maintenance cycles these apply.

If you have a calculations spreadsheet or specific webpage that would be sufficient.

Decision

I can confirm that the information requested is held by Lincolnshire County Council. I have detailed below the information that is being released to you.

Please find attached Commuted Sums Policy and Commuted Sums Highways Guidance Document for reference

Also included is the cost calculator

Commuted sums are applied over a 120 or 60 year period, depending on whether the asset is integral to the network

LCC expect to review these documents in 2024 once ADEPT publishes its new national guidance on these matters, which is expected in 2024.

ADEPT is the Association of Directors of Environment, Economy, Planning and Transport .
