Paragraph 34 I1

The undertaker will allow and facilitate an appropriately qualified officer of the local highway authority to participate in the design process for the detailed design of those parts of the authorised development which are local highway, and will have reasonable regard to any views of that officer in finalising the detailed design prior to any element reaching design fix or freeze; provided always that it will be the decision of the undertaker whether it implements such views and for the avoidance of doubt any such view shared by the officer will not be an instruction, requirement or authorisation under this Order.

Participation under sub-paragraph (1) will be in the form of invitations to attend design meetings not less than once per calendar month and the provision to the local highway authority of such drawings, cross sections and design proposals as are required to allow the local highway authority to provide views on detailed design proposals to the undertaker.

Any participation by the local highway authority (or its appropriately qualified officer) in accordance with this paragraph will be at the cost of the local highway authority.
