Design standards

Please note that these pages are currently being updated

The Shropshire Manual for Adoptable Roads and Transport sets out our county wide method of developing a structured approach to highways development, which offers an easy method of communication, planning and appeal processes, and direction for approvable works. It forms part of a range of information available to planners and developers which includes:

  • Shropshire Manual for Adoptable Roads and Transport (SMART)

Working to the standards laid out in our Shropshire Manual for Adoptable Roads and Transport (SMART), planners and developers have the basis for;

  • developing the appropriate infrastructure
  • meeting the adoptable standards
  • creating an environment which promotes a sense of place that everyone can use and enjoy.

The Highway Development team will work with planners and developers to promote these standards, as well as to promote road safety, and advise with local land searches.
