1358-02-PHL-1202 RevE and 1358-02-PHL-1203 RevC, such
splays shall be maintained in perpetuity. Reason: In the interests
of highway safety. ?
Additional Informative (05): ?
?Planning approval did not by any means
constitute technical approval in terms of any future S38 submission
to Somerset Council and the applicants were advised that if there
were matters of detail which were not addressed at this stage, it
should not be assumed that alterations won’t be required
through the technical audit.?
Advance payment code would apply to
this development.?
Future connection to South must be
designed for buses. ?
The various locations where it would
appear there were proposed trees (specifically between two parking
bays), it was requested that these were a species of tree where the
canopies were taller so that visibility was not obstructed. Please
bear in mind that any tree situated within highway limits would
attract a commuted sum of £1000 per tree.?
The proposals included the use of central
drainage channels within some of the access roads/cul-de-sacs, and
it was requested that the designer considered the practical
implications of such features in terms of both buildability and
future maintenance. It was recommended that the designer engaged
with the highway authority on this aspect to understand the
authority’s experience in terms of construction and
maintenance of the drainage features.
