Article 35

Planning permission has been granted for this proposal.  Discussion with the applicant to seek an acceptable solution was not necessary in this instance.  The Council has therefore acted proactively in line with the requirements of the Framework (paragraphs 186 and 187) and in accordance with the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) Order 2015.

Carrying out Development in the Highbarns Chalk Mines Outer Area and Land Stability Informative

The Government advice confirms that where a site is affected by contamination or land stability issues, responsibility for securing a safe development rests with the developer and / or landowner.

The carrying out of development in the Highbarns Outer Area is at the risk of the developer as the Council does not have any information relating to ground stability in the Outer Zone.  If the developer / landowner is concerned about possible ground instability, consideration should be given by the developer / landowner in commissioning a ground stability report.

Highways Informatives:

1. Highway structural considerations. Prior to commencement of development, full details of the construction of any retaining wall associated with construction of the proposal, including any necessary Approval in Principle certification issued in accordance with the requirements of the Department for Transport's DMRB Standard BD 2/12:  Technical Approval of Highway Structures, shall be submitted to the highway authority.  The applicant is required to contact highway.structures@hertfordshire.gov.uk to enter into the Technical Approval process, since the boundary wall abuts onto the highway.  A technical approval certificate will be issued if the plans are required to and meet the regulations.

The applicant is advised that in order to comply with this requirement it will be necessary for the developer of the site to contact the Hertfordshire County Council Bridge Asset Manager in connection with the requirements of Department for Transport Standard BD 2/12: Technical Approval of Highway Structures. Further details can be obtained from the Highway Authority at County Hall, Pegs Lane, Hertford, Herts, SG13 8DN (Telephone: 0300 1234047).

2. The Highway Authority requires the alterations to or the construction of the vehicle crossovers to be undertaken such that the works are carried out to their specification and by a contractor who is authorised to work in the public highway. If any of the works associated with the construction of the access affects or requires the removal and/or the relocation of any equipment, apparatus or structures (e.g. street name plates, bus stop signs or shelters, statutory authority equipment etc.), the applicant will be required to bear the cost of such removal or alteration. Before works commence the applicant will need to apply to the Highway Authority to obtain their permission and requirements. The applicant may need to apply to Highways (Telephone 0300 1234047) to arrange this, or use link:- https://www.hertfordshire.gov.uk/droppedkerbs//

3. Obstruction of public highway land: It is an offence under section 137 of the Highways Act 1980 for any person, without lawful authority or excuse, in any way to wilfully obstruct the free passage along a highway or public right of way. If this development is likely to result in the public highway or public right of way network becoming routinely blocked (fully or partly) the applicant must contact the Highway Authority to obtain their permission and requirements before construction works commence. Further information is available via the website: http://www.hertfordshire.gov.uk/services/transtreets/highways/ or by telephoning 0300 1234047.

4. Road Deposits: It is an offence under section 148 of the Highways Act 1980 to deposit mud or other debris on the public highway, and section 149 of the same Act gives the Highway Authority powers to remove such material at the expense of the party responsible. Therefore, best practical means shall be taken at all times to ensure that all vehicles leaving the site during construction of the development are in a condition such as not to emit dust or deposit mud, slurry or other debris on the highway. Further information is available via the website http://www.hertfordshire.gov.uk/services/transtreets/highways/ or by telephoning 0300 1234047

5. All materials and equipment to be used during the construction shall be stored within the curtilage of the site unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Highways Authority prior to commencement of development.
