The property that the polynomial cohomology with coefficients of a finitely generated discrete group is canonically isomorphic to the group cohomology is called the (weak) isocohomological property for the group. In the case when a group is of type $HF^\infty$, i.e. that has a classifying space with the homotopy type of a cellular complex with finitely many cells in each dimension, we show that the isocohomological property is equivalent to the universal cover of the classifying space satisfying polynomially bounded higher Dehn functions. If a group is hyperbolic relative to a collection of subgroups, each of which is polynomially combable (respectively $HF^\infty$ and isocohomological), then we show that the group itself has these respective properties too. Combining with the results of Connes-Moscovici and Dru{\c{t}}u-Sapir we conclude that a group satisfies the Novikov conjecture if it is relatively hyperbolic to subgroups that are of property RD, of type $HF^\infty$ and isocohomological.
