Highway Searches

How to do a highway search

We provide highway searches, on roads within the London Borough of Harrow, for the following:

  • Highway Adoption Status
  • Existence of Rights of Way: footpaths, bridleways, byways
  • Traffic Scheme proposals
  • s38/s278 Status enquiry (s38/s278 Agreement). These are council agreements to adopt new roads or sections of new roads on privately built developments.

There is a charge for an enquiry for a road adoption status. The cost is listed in the fees section.

The plan supplied with the search is in PDF format, at a scale of 1:1000 at A3.
