What is an Advance Payment Code Notice and how does it work?
A statutory notice served upon a developer requiring the payment of deposits. The purpose of the advance payment code deposits is to ensure the completion and adoption of a road on a new development, and to protect house purchasers against the risk of private street work charges. The Council has 6 weeks from the date building regulations approval is granted to serve a notice. The builders must pay the deposit before commencing works on site or they are breaking the law.
