You asked
Dear Sir/Madam,
The Home Builders Federation is the representative body for house builders in England, Wales, and Scotland. HBF’s membership of more than 300 companies build the majority of open market homes for sale completed in England and Wales and encompasses private developers and registered providers.
The HBF host a series of dedicated technical subgroups to support the housebuilding sector in a bid to share best practice, knowledge and understanding. The subgroup topics range across key industry areas, with highway related matters being one of the most pivotal parts in the delivery in much needed new homes that requires an industry coordinated approach.
The HBF Highways subgroup has formulated a series of questions of which, we have been asked to submit to several Local Authority Highway Departments under a Freedom of Information request. There is also a survey at the end of this document asking for your opinion on certain aspects of S278/ S38 agreements, and we would be very grateful if you could fill this in for us along with the FOI request.
We kindly request that you do not provide web links, or Excel Spreadsheets as answers to any of the questions as we have had issues with links not working or spreadsheets not opening correctly in the response to our last FOI request. To make it easier for you to provide the answers to our questions I have created a word document with tables for you to fill in which will hopefully make the process of responding easier for you.
Whilst we look forward to hearing from you, in the meantime, should you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact me
