|
| Positive and Proactive Statement. No problems have arisen in dealing with this application. The planning application sought an acceptable form of development consistent with the requirements of relevant policies and material considerations. No amendments or alterations were therefore required and no further positive or proactive action was deemed necessary. |
| The applicants attention is drawn to the existence of an agreement made under Section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended), and the restrictions imposed therein. |
| Section 278 Agreement
The granting of this planning permission does not remove any obligations on the applicant to undertake a technical design check of the proposed highway improvement works with the Highway Authority (Worcestershire County Council, WCC), nor does it confirm acceptance of the proposal by the Highway Authority until that design check process has been concluded. Upon the satisfactory completion of the technical check the design would be suitable to allow relevant conditions imposed under this permission to be discharged but works to the public highway cannot take place until a legal agreement under Section 278 of the Highways Act 1980 has been entered into to allow the works and the applicant has complied with the requirements of the New Roads and Streetworks Act 1991 (NRSWA) and Traffic Management Act 2004. The person or organisation shall follow the necessary procedure by applying to WCC Streetworks Team for road space for a period to be agreed.
WCC normally use Section 278 to allow the developer to employ a contractor and for that contractor to work on the existing public highway in the same way as if WCC were conducting the works.
When any work is undertaken by a party acting on behalf of a developer on the existing adopted highway it will also be necessary to electronically provide notices to WCC (start date, location, workspace area) to allow these works to take place in accordance with NRSWA. Also, details regarding temporary traffic management controls for works in the public highway are to be submitted to WCC for approval using the online application process.
The applicant is urged to engage with WCC as early as possible to ensure that the approval process is started in a timely manner to achieve delivery of the highway works in accordance with the above-mentioned conditions. The term “highway improvement works” includes, but is not limited to, a proposed junction or access arrangement, highway drainage, street lighting, structures in or adjacent to highway, and any necessary traffic regulation orders or statutory notice.
Section 38.
If it is the applicant's intention to request the County Council, as Highway Authority, to adopt the proposed roadworks as maintainable at the public expense, then details of the layout and alignment, widths and levels of the proposed roadworks, which shall comply with any plans approved under this planning consent unless otherwise agreed in writing, together with all necessary drainage arrangements and run off calculations shall be submitted to the County Council's Network Control Manager, Worcestershire County Council, County Hall, Spetchley Road, Worcester, WR5 2NP. No works on the site of the development shall be commenced until these details have been approved by the County Council as Highway Authority and an Agreement under Section 38 of the Highways Act, 1980, entered into.
Drainage Details for Section 38
It is not known if the proposed roadworks can be satisfactorily drained to an adequate outfall. Unless adequate storm water disposal arrangements can be provided, the County Council, as Highway Authority, will be unable to adopt the proposed roadworks as public highways.
The applicant is, therefore, advised to submit the engineering details referred to in this conditional approval to the County Council's County Network Control Manager, Worcestershire County Council, County Hall, Spetchley Road, Worcester, WR5 2NP at an early date to enable surface water disposal arrangements to be assessed |
