Notes

Please note that prior to the access off Hockley Road being widened you require Section 184 Notice of Approval from Staffordshire County Council. The link below provides a further link to 'vehicle dropped crossings' which includes a 'vehicle dropped crossing information pack' and an application form for a dropped crossing. Please complete and send to the address indicated on the application form which is Staffordshire County Council at Network Management Unit, Staffordshire Place 1, Wedgwood Building, Tipping Street, STAFFORD, Staffordshire, ST16 2DH. (or email to nmu@staffordshire.gov.uk) Vehicle access crossing (dropped kerb) - Staffordshire County Council The works required to reduce the access off New Road will require the relevant permit from our Network Management Section. Please note that prior to the reinstatement works taking place you require a Permit to Dig. Please contact Staffordshire County Council at Network Management Unit, Staffordshire Place 1, Wedgwood Building, Tipping Street, Stafford, Staffordshire ST16 2DH or email nmu@staffordshire.gov.uk.

The following link provides an overview of the permissions and licences required for undertaking work on or adjacent to the adopted highway:

https://www.staffordshire.gov.uk/Highways/licences/Overview.aspx.

Staffordshire County Council as Highway Authority would not formally adopt the proposed development, however, the development will require approval under Section 7 of the Staffordshire Act 1983. This Form X does not constitute a detailed design check. The applicant is requested to contact Staffordshire County Council to ensure that approvals and agreements are secured before commencement of works.

It will, therefore, be necessary for maintenance/management arrangements for the access road and internal layout to be submitted to the Highway Authority with a view to securing an exemption under Section 219 of the Highways Act 1980. Although the road layout will not be to adoptable standard, the roadways within the site will still need to be constructed to be 'fit for purpose'.

Waste:

Developments of individual houses must include unobtrusive areas suitable to accommodating at least 3 x 240l wheeled bins.

The Joint Waste Service provides a kerbside collection service, therefore residents will be expected to present their bins at the nearest appropriate highway on collection days.

 

 Unadopted roads/drives cannot be accessed by a collection vehicle if they are not constructed to an adoptable standard.

 

For each 6 apartments a bin store would be required to hold 1 x 1100l bins (or 3 x 360l bins) for refuse and the same amount for recycling as well as allowing space for any bulky items that residents may have booked in for collection.  Bin capacity is increased incrementally as the number of apartments increases. A bin store should be positioned within a reasonable walking distance from the further apartment it serves and within 10m of the nearest kerbside or stopping point of the collection vehicle. Bin stores must allow room for filling and emptying and provide a clear space of 150mm between and around the containers.  The minimum bin store area for 6 apartments would be 12 square metres and this would need to be increased on a pro rata basis for the 12 apartments.The bin store must be of adequate height to permit container lids to be fully opened and have lockable doors which are wide enough to allow easy manoeuvring of the bins when emptied and returned. Access to the bin store should be clear of obstructions and any paths to the collection point be free from kerbs, with dropped kerbs used at all point, and allow smooth passage for the container, with no steps or inclines more than 1:12.  The path should be non-slip and wide enough to accommodate the bins and be of a hard-wearing surface to withstand the loading imposed. Where the bin store is off road, the drive must have a radius sufficient to turn into and out of the the road and be capable of safely accommodating a refuse vehicle.
