How schemes in Tuxford get decided.
Two councils involved
Bassetlaw District Council decides the planning application, but Nottinghamshire 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 Tuxford
A small market town next to the A1, with no railway station and village-scale roads. Lanes without footways, visibility at the access and how far it is to shops, schools and a bus stop are usually the deciding issues.
Roads, rail and buses
The main roads are the A6075, next to the A1. There’s no railway station, so bus services and safe walking and cycling routes carry more weight. Where a scheme adds traffic to the A1, National Highways needs to agree the evidence as well. We tell you early if yours does.
Questions we get asked
Who is the highway authority in Tuxford?
Nottinghamshire County Council, for local roads. Bassetlaw District Council decides the planning application and consults Nottinghamshire County Council on highways matters. We deal with both. National Highways is responsible for the A1.
Do you cover the area around Tuxford?
Yes, including Retford, Worksop and Newark, and the villages and rural sites in between.
Will National Highways need to be involved?
Only if a scheme adds enough traffic to the A1 to matter. We check that at the start and, where it’s needed, agree the approach with them alongside the council.
