How schemes in Burton upon Trent get decided.
Two councils involved
East Staffordshire Borough Council decides the planning application, but Staffordshire County Council is the highway authority and gives the highways response. We deal with both, so the evidence suits the county’s standards as well as the local plan.
What shapes schemes in Burton upon Trent
A brewing town on the A38, with the A50 to the north and growth on its southern edge. In the centre, the questions are servicing, parking and how people walk to the shops and the station. On the edges, it’s access, visibility and the main junctions.
Roads, rail and buses
The main roads are the A38, A50 and A511. There’s a railway station, so the walking and cycling route to it counts for a lot in any application. Where a scheme adds traffic to the A38 and A50, National Highways needs to agree the evidence as well. We tell you early if yours does.

All services in detail →Questions we get asked
Who is the highway authority in Burton upon Trent?
Staffordshire County Council, for local roads. East Staffordshire Borough Council decides the planning application and consults Staffordshire County Council on highways matters. We deal with both. National Highways is responsible for the A38 and A50.
Do you cover the area around Burton upon Trent?
Yes, including Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Derby and Lichfield, and the villages and rural sites in between.
Will National Highways need to be involved?
Only if a scheme adds enough traffic to the A38 and A50 to matter. We check that at the start and, where it’s needed, agree the approach with them alongside the council.
