Requesting a Highway Personal Search

Should you require highways information relating to a particular property or piece of land, we operate a fast and efficient personal search service delivered by a team of officers trained to interpret highways records and keep in constant contact with those responsible for instigating proposals to the highway network within Worcestershire. This ensures you receive the most up to date information available.

The county council's procedure for personal search enquiries is as follows:

• Complete the Highways search enquiry form  (186KB) and provide a location plan for the property or land searched against.
• There is a fee of £16.00 for all or one of the highways questions on the CON29(R) form.
• There is a fee charged of £6.50 per question for replies to Q4(b) and Q5 on the CON29(O).
• Please note payment is required in advance by cheque made payable to Worcestershire County Council and sent to the address below.
• We regret that we are unable to process electronic payments.
