Informative notes:

1) The applicant is advised to contact the Director of Environmental and Planning Services, Guildford Borough Council, at an early stage to discuss naming and numbering of the development.

2) The site should be assessed for any asbestos containing materials prior to demolition and construction activities. Any work with asbestos must be carried out in accordance with the Asbestos at work regulations 2002 and Approved Code of Practice (L27).

3) Due to the proximity of residential accommodation there should be no burning of waste material on the site.

4) Due to the proximity of residential accommodation any works of demolition and construction including any piling work required should be conducted in accordance with BS5228 (parts 1 and 4) for noise control. Only silenced piling equipment should be used so as to minimise noise disturbance.

5) During demolition or construction phases, adequate control precautions should be taken in order to control the spread of dust on the site, so as to prevent a nuisance to residents in the locality. This may involve the use of dust screens and importing a water supply to wet areas of the site to inhibit dust.

6) Before development commences , details shall be submitted to and approved by the Engineering Manager, Guildford Borough Council, showing the provision for the disposal of surface water emanating from this development. Provision for the disposal of surface water shall be made at the initial stage of development of the site and shall be completed and be operational prior to any impermeable drained area being created on the site.

7) Design standards for the layout and construction of access roads and junctions, including the provision of visibility zones, shall be in accordance with the requirements of the County Highway Authority.

8) The Highway Authority has no objection to the proposed development, subject to the above conditions but, if it is the applicant's intention to offer any roadworks included in the application for adoption as maintainable highways, permission under the Town and Country Planning Act should not be construed as approval to the highway engineering details necessary for inclusion in an Agreement under Section 38 of the Highways Act 1980.

9) The permission hereby granted shall not be construed as authority to obstruct the public highway by the erection of scaffolding, hoarding or any other device or apparatus for which a licence must be sought from the Highway Authority.

10) When a temporary access is approved or an access is to be closed as a condition of planning permission an agreement with, or licence issued by, the Highway Authority will require that the redundant dropped kerb be raised and any verge or footway crossing be reinstated to conform with the existing adjoining surfaces at the developers expense. (Note: It is preferable where possible to arrange for the adjacent highway to be included in the area edged red on the application when Circular 11/95 provides that conditions may be suitable to control this)

11) The developer is reminded that it is an offence to allow materials to be carried from the site and deposited on or damage the highway from uncleaned wheels or badly loaded vehicles. The Highway Authority will seek, wherever possible, to recover any expenses incurred in clearing, cleaning or repairing highway surfaces and prosecutes persistent offenders. (Highways Act 1980 Sections 131, 148, 149).

12) When access is required to be `completed' before any other operations, the Highway Authority will normally agree that wearing course material and in some cases edge restraint may be deferred until construction of the development is virtually complete, provided all reasonable care is taken to protect public safety.
