Within the programme of capital investment works in the 2021/22 annual plan there are a number of projects that require licence agreements and easements to deliver the construction works.

The link to the decision is: Issue details - Public Realm annual plan programmes of work - Herefordshire Council

The heads of terms have been agreed by the councils appointed agents Bruton Knowles.

A number of these projects include works within rivers where there is a limited window where the Environment Agency will permit the works to taken place. It is therefore essential that works are delivered in line with programme.

The costs for the agreements are funded by the Local Transport Plan capital budget and are included in the current budgets for the schemes.
