works with the Highway Authority (Worcestershire County Council, WCC), nor does it
confirm detailed design approval by the Highway Authority until the design check
process has been concluded. Upon the satisfactory completion of the technical check
the design would be suitable to allow relevant conditions imposed under this
permission to be discharged but works to the public highway cannot take place until a
legal agreement under Section 278 of the Highways Act 1980 has been entered into
to allow the works and the applicant has complied with the requirements of the New
