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 during the construction phase of the development.
For the use or reuse of sewer connections, either direct or indirect, to the public sewerage system the Applicant will be required to make a formal application to STWL under Section 106 of the Water Industry Act 1991. The Applicant may obtain copies of current guidance notes and application form from either the STWL website (www.stwater.co.uk) or by contacting the STWL Development Services Team (Tel: 0800 707 6600).
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. Applications can be made online via the Worcestershire County Council website. The Applicant is solely responsible for all costs associated with construction of the access.
No surface water from the proposed access and driveway shall be allowed to discharge into any highway drain or over any part of the public 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.
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 detailed design approval by the Highway Authority until the 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.
Worcester City Council has the responsibility to ensure that all new properties are officially registered. Part of the process is to notify the necessary internal departments of the Council and external authorities, such as Royal Mail and the emergency services. Once you are in a position to submit an application you can apply using the following link https://www.worcester.gov.uk/planning/street-naming-numbering or if you have any questions you can email snn@worcester.gov.uk Please remember that if you do not contact Street Naming & Numbering to register the address, any new occupant will be unable to receive post or services.
