OUR SERVICES
Highway Infrastructure Design Consultants
Highway Planning and Design to comply with Sustainable Urban Drainage.
Drainage strategies have become an indispensable requirement in the planning process, regardless of the scale of a development. Here at Onn Point, our West Midlands highway design consultants collaborate with a local engineering practice to deliver a comprehensive civil engineering package, ensuring a seamless highway drainage design and highway infrastructure design experience for our clients.
We serve areas throughout the West Midlands and the entire UK.
Private Access Design
We specialise in creating well-thought-out access layout planning specifically tailored to highway designs for small developments. Our designs prioritise external levels and ensure optimal functionality, delivering an outstanding experience.
Adoptable Standards
With meticulous attention to detail, we offer comprehensive Wolverhampton and Birmingham highway infrastructure design solutions for various applications, including S278, S184, and S38. Our team of experts covers the entire process, ensuring that every aspect of the design is impeccably executed for a seamless implementation.
Private Car Park Design
We hold ourselves to the highest standards when it comes to developing planning access layouts that adhere to Part M guidelines. Our highway and highway drainage designs prioritise accessibility and usability, creating a parking experience that exceeds expectations.
Swept Path Exercise
Leveraging advanced modelling software, our highway infrastructure design consultants provide accurate and reliable swept path drawings suitable for planning purposes. These detailed drawings serve as valuable tools in visualising and assessing vehicular movements within a development, ensuring optimal efficiency.
Junction Design
Crafting efficient and safe junction designs for new private access points is our specialty. The expertise of our Birmingham highway design consultants allows us to incorporate essential elements such as vis-splay design based on ATC information. The result is an optimised traffic flow and enhanced safety for all.
Drop Kerb Application (S184)
We offer expertise in the preparation and submission of drop kerb applications. We ensure that the construction process adheres to all relevant authority requirements, which is what keeps a scheme moving rather than bouncing back that meets your needs.

How does Highway Design and Highway Drainage Design Work?
Highway and highway drainage designs are complex processes that involve multiple stages, from initial feasibility studies to detailed route selection and environmental assessments. The main goal is to create roads that are safe, efficient, and environmentally sustainable. For highway drainage design, the focus extends beyond the road itself, ensuring proper water management to prevent flooding and maintain long-term infrastructure performance.
Key elements of the design process, including stakeholder engagement, public consultation, and utility coordination are essential for ensuring the project’s success. The end result is a highway that meets transportation needs while prioritising the safety, sustainability, and well-being of communities and the environment.

How do your highway design consultants approach a project?
Here at Onn Point, our highway design consultants work closely with clients to understand the specific requirements of every project. From the initial planning to the final design, we focus on creating efficient, safe, and environmentally friendly roadways.
We also ensure our designs comply with all necessary regulations to meet the needs of the community and the environment. Get in touch with our consultants today to find out more.
Why is highway drainage design important in highway projects?
Highway drainage design is vital to ensure that water is effectively managed on the road surface and surrounding areas. This helps prevent water accumulation that can lead to flooding, road damage and safety hazards.
By incorporating effective highway drainage design, highway infrastructure can better withstand extreme weather conditions and promote the longevity of the road network.
How do you ensure highway designs comply with environmental standards?
We prioritise environmental sustainability in all our designs. Our highway design consultants incorporate strategies that comply with sustainable urban drainage systems (SuDS), which reduces the environmental impact of new roads. Our designs aim to minimise flood risks, promote biodiversity, and ensure that the highways integrate smoothly into the local ecosystem.
How long does a highway design project take?
The duration of a highway design or highway drainage design project will vary depending on the complexity and the scope of the project. Simple projects like small road extensions may take a few months, while larger infrastructure projects can take a year or more.

What is a Section 38 agreement?
A Section 38 agreement, under the Highways Act 1980, is how a new estate road built by a developer becomes a publicly maintained highway. The highway authority approves the design, the road is built and inspected, a maintenance period follows, and adoption completes at the end of it.
What is the difference between Section 38, 278 and 184?
Section 38 covers adoption of new roads. Section 278 covers alterations to the existing public highway — a new junction, a widened carriageway, a signalised access. Section 184 covers a vehicle crossing over the footway, which is what most single-dwelling accesses need.
How long does highway adoption take?
The technical approval stage typically runs a few months depending on the authority. Adoption itself completes only after construction and a maintenance period, so the overall process is usually measured in years rather than weeks. The design and technical approval are the parts we control.
Do I need swept path analysis?
If refuse vehicles, delivery vehicles or fire appliances need to reach your development and turn, then yes. Highway authorities routinely ask for it, and it is far cheaper to establish that a refuse vehicle cannot turn at design stage than after the kerbs are in.
If your scheme discharges to a ditch, brook or culvert, you may also need ordinary watercourse consent — a separate consent from planning that is easy to miss.
