| Alteration of highway to provide new or amended vehicle crossover:
This permission does not authorise the Applicant to carry out works within the publicly maintained highway since such works can only be carried out by the County Council’s Approved Contractor, Ringway Infrastructure Service who can be contacted by email: worcestershirevehicle.crossing@ringway.co.uk. The Applicant is solely responsible for all costs associated with construction of the access.
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 works with the Highway Authority, 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 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 and the Applicant has complied with the requirements of the Traffic Management Act 2004.
The Applicant is urged to engage with the Highway Authority 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 Applicant should be aware of the term "highway works" being inclusive of, but not limited to, the proposed junction arrangement, street lighting, structures and any necessary traffic regulation orders.
Section 38 Agreement Details:
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.
No Drainage to Discharge to Highway:
Drainage arrangements shall be provided to ensure that surface water from the driveway and/or vehicular turning area does not discharge onto the public highway. No drainage or effluent from the proposed development shall be allowed to discharge into any highway drain or over any part of the public highway.
Protection of Visibility Splays:
The Applicant's attention is drawn to the need to ensure that the provision of the visibility splay(s) required by this consent is safeguarded in any sale of the application site or part(s) thereof.
Extraordinary Maintenance:
The attention of the Applicant is drawn to Section 59 of the Highways Act 1980 which allows the Highway Authority to recover additional costs of road maintenance due to damage by extraordinary traffic.
Before any work is commenced upon the development hereby approved representatives of Worcestershire County Council, as the Highway Authority and the Applicant, shall carry out a joint road survey/inspection on the roads leading to this site. Any highlighted defects shall be rectified to the specification and satisfaction of the Highway Authority before work is commenced on the development hereby approved. A further joint survey/inspection shall be undertaken following completion of development hereby approved and any necessary remedial works shall be completed to the specification and satisfaction of the Highway Authority within 1 month or other agreed timescale.
Works Adjoining Highway:
Any work involving the removal or disturbance of ground or structures supporting or abutting the publicly maintained highway should be carried out in accordance with details to be submitted to and approved in writing by the Highway Authority.
Temporary Direction Signs to Housing Developments:
This consent does not authorise the erection of temporary direction signs on the public highway. Should the Applicant wish to direct traffic to the development site they should seek the consent of the Highway Authority. All temporary directional sign proposals should be submitted to the Network Control Manager, Worcestershire County Council, County Hall, Spetchley Road, Worcester, WR5 2NP. No signs should be erected without the consent of the Highway Authority.

| It is expected that contractors are registered with the Considerate Constructors scheme and comply with the code of conduct in full, but particular reference is made to "respecting the community" this says:
Constructors should give utmost consideration to their impact on neighbours and the public
• Informing, respecting and showing courtesy to those affected by the work;
• Minimising the impact of deliveries, parking and work on the public highway;
• Contributing to and supporting the local community and economy; and
• Working to create a positive and enduring impression and promoting the Code.
The CEMP should clearly identify how the principal contractor will engage with the local community; this should be tailored to local circumstances. Contractors should also confirm how they will manage any local concerns and complaints and provide an agreed Service Level Agreement for responding to said issues.
Contractors should ensure that courtesy boards are provided, and information shared with the local community relating to the timing of operations and contact details for a site coordinator in the event of any difficulties.
This does not offer any relief to obligations under existing Legislation.
Travel Plan Requirements

Buildings materials must not be stored on the right of way.
Vehicle movements and parking to be arranged so as not to unreasonably interfere with the
public’s use of the right of way.

structure should be created on, or across, a public right of way without written consent of
the Highway Authority.
The safety of the public using the right of way is to be ensured at all times.
The developer should also be aware of the Department of Environment Circular 1/09 (part 7) which
explains that the effect of development on a public right of way is a material consideration in the
determination of applications for planning permission and that the grant of planning consent does
not entitle developers to obstruct a public right of way.
If the development cannot be carried out without temporarily closing the public right of way for the
