a) As part of any technical details consent application the applicant should include all PROW in, adjacent to and affected by the development in the correct position on all their plans, to ensure public safety by making developers and contractors aware of its location. It also enables us to correctly assess the impact of the development on the PROW. b) PROW should be open throughout the development construction unless public safety requires a closure. - For temporary closures, email: PROWclosures@worcestershire.gov.uk. - Please submit at least 6 weeks in advance. c) Any damage to the surface of a PROW cased during construction must be restored to at least the original condition and any proposal to change the surface must be approved by Worcestershire County Council (Public Rights of Way team) d) The applicant should note the following additional obligations toward PROW: • The safety of the public using PROW is paramount. • No disturbance of, or change to, the surface of the path or part thereof is carried out without written consent of the Highway Authority. There must be no reduction in the width of the PROW. • Building materials must not be stored on PROW and work to carry out the development should not obstruct the footpath at any time. • Vehicle movements and parking must not unreasonably interfere with the public’s use of PROW. • No additional barriers (e.g., stile, gate, or fence) may be placed on or across a PROW without the written consent of the Highway Authority.
Positive and Proactive Statement. No problems have arisen in dealing with this application. The application for permission in princple sought a form of development which, on balance, was condiered to be acceptable. No amendments or alterations were therefore required and no further positive or proactive action was deemed necessary.
