| Positive and Proactive Statement
In dealing with this application, the Council has worked with the applicant in the following ways:-
- seeking further information following receipt of the application;
- considering the imposition of conditions and or the completion of a s.106 legal agreement
In such ways the Council has demonstrated a positive and proactive manner in seeking solutions to problems arising in relation to the planning application.
|
| The attention of the applicant is drawn to the need to keep the highway free from any mud or other material emanating from the application site or any works pertaining thereto. |
| This permission does not authorise the laying of private apparatus within the confines of the public highway
The applicant should apply to the Worcestershire County Council's Community and Response Unit, County Hall, Spetchley Road, Worcester WR5 2NP (telephone 0845 607 2005), for consent under the New Roads and Streetworks Act 1991 to install private apparatus within the confines of the public highway. Precise details of all works within the public highway must be agreed on site with the Highway Authority.
|
| 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 following the issue of a license under Section 184 and 278 of the Highways Act, 1980.
The applicant should contact Worcestershire County Council's Highways Community and Response Unit, County Hall, Spetchley Road, Worcester WR5 2NP (telephone 0845 607 2005), regarding the issue of the necessary license authorising the access works to be carried out by the County Council's Approved Contractor at the applicant's expense. The applicant should give the County Council sufficient notice to enable, as far as possible, the licence procedure to be carried out so that there is no disruption to the applicant's programme of works. |
| No work on the site should commence until engineering details of the improvements to the public highway have been approved by the Highway Authority and an agreement under Section 278 of the Highways Act 1980 entered into.
|
| If it is the Developer's intention to request the County Council, as a Highway Authority, to adopt the proposed road works as maintainable at the public expense, then details of the layout and alignment, widths and levels of the proposed road works, which shall comply with the County Council's requirements, together with all necessary drainage arrangements and run off calculations shall be submitted to Worcestershire County Council's Network Control Manager, Environmental Services Directorate, County Hall, Spetchley Road, Worcester WR5 2NP (telephone 01905 763763).

|
| It is not known if the proposed road works 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 road works as public highways. The applicant is, therefore, advised to submit the engineering details referred to in this conditional approval to the Worcestershire County Council's Network Control Manager, Environmental Services Directorate, County Hall, Spetchley Road, Worcester WR5 2NP (telephone 01905 763763), at an early date to enable surface water disposal arrangements to be assessed. |
| Prior to the first occupation of any of the dwellings hereby approved, details of superfast broadband facilities or alternative solutions to serve the dwellings hereby approved shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority.
