Code of Practice for Inspections: Defects Not Causing Danger Inspections (Advice Note No 2014 03)

The Highway Authorities and Utilities Committee [HAUC(UK)] recognised that the current 2002 edition of the Inspections Code of Practice (Code) is not clear regarding chargeable authority inspections associated with defective reinstatements not causing danger so agreed to produce an Advice Note to help explain the procedures. The Code will continue to undergo a revision by a new HAUC England working group which will include a clearer procedure for dealing with defective reinstatements not causing danger. This advice note should be accepted as current guidance until the revised Code is published by HAUC England. The Code will continue to be non-statutory.
