INFORMATIVE(S):
1 The Highway Authority will require the applicant to give an undertaking to pay additional costs of repair or maintenance of the public highway in the vicinity of the site should the highway be damaged as a result of the construction traffic The construction traffic will be deemed “extraordinary traffic” for the purposes of Section
59 of the Highways Act 1980 Under this section, the Highway Authority can recover the cost of excess expenses for maintenance of the highway resulting from excessive weight or extraordinary traffic passing along the highway It is to be
Trang 6understood that any remedial works for such damage will be included in the
estimate for highway works
2 The applicant is required to submit a Street Works Licence application to the Development and Regulatory Services, 2 Bristol Avenue, Colindale NW9 4EW, 4-6 weeks before the start of any works on the public highway
In the case where a highway tree is present in the vicinity of the proposed access road or a crossover for the development the final approval would be subject to the detailed assessment carried out by the Highways Crossover Team in conjunction with the highway tree section as part of the crossover application The outcome of this assessment cannot be prejudged
The applicant is advised that the permitted maximum width for a residential
crossover is 4.2 metres Information on application for a crossover could be
obtained from London Borough of Barnet, Crossover Team, Development and Regulatory Services, 2 Bristol Avenue, Colindale NW9 4EW
Works on public highway shall be carried out by the Council’s contractors An estimate for this work could be obtained from London Borough of Barnet, Development and Regulatory Services, 2 Bristol Avenue, Colindale NW9 4EW
3 As a result of development and construction activities is a major cause of concern to the Council Construction traffic is deemed to be “extraordinary traffic” for the purposes of Section 59 of the Highways Act 1980 During the course of the development, a far greater volume of construction traffic will be traversing the public highway and this considerably shortens the lifespan of the affected highway
To minimise risks and damage to public highway, it is now a requirement as part of any new development to undertake a Highway Condition Survey of the surrounding public highway to the development to record the state of the highway prior to commencement of any development works The condition of the public highway shall be recorded including a photographic survey prior to commencement of any works within the development During the course of the development construction, the applicant will be held responsible for any consequential damage to the public highway due to site operations and these photographs will assist in establishing the basis of damage to the public highway A bond will be sought to cover potential damage resulting from the development which will be equivalent to the cost of highway works fronting the development To arrange a joint highway condition survey, please contact the Highways Development Control / Network Management Team on 020 8359 3555 or by e-mail highways.development@barnet.gov.uk or nrswa@barnet.gov.uk at least 10 days prior to commencement of the development works

6 The applicant is advised to engage a qualified acoustic consultant to advise on the scheme, including the specifications of any materials, construction, fittings and equipment necessary to achieve satisfactory internal noise levels in this location
In addition to the noise control measures and details, the scheme needs to clearly set out the target noise levels for the habitable rooms, including for bedrooms at night, and the levels that the sound insulation scheme would achieve
The Council's Sustainable Design and Construction Supplementary Planning Document requires that dwellings are designed and built to insulate against external noise so that the internal noise level in rooms does not exceed 30dB(A) expressed as an Leq between the hours of 11.00pm and 7.00am, nor 35dB(A) expressed as an Leq between the hours of 7.00am and 11.00pm (Guidelines for
Trang 8Community Noise, WHO) This needs to be considered in the context of room ventilation requirements
The details of acoustic consultants can be obtained from the following contacts: a) Institute of Acoustics and b) Association of Noise Consultants
The assessment and report on the noise impacts of a development should use methods of measurement, calculation, prediction and assessment of noise levels and impacts that comply with the following standards, where appropriate:
1) BS 7445(2003) Pt 1, BS7445 (1991) Pts 2 & 3 - Description and measurement
4) Department of Transport: Calculation of road traffic noise (1988);
5) Department of Transport: Calculation of railway noise (1995);
6) National Planning Policy Framework (2012)/ National Planning Policy Guidance (2014)

Inspector’s recommendations As not all of the Inspector’s recommendations have
Trang 11been accepted It is for the Secretary of State to decide whether the DLP can
proceed to adoption
The Secretary of State wrote to the Mayor on the 13th March advising that the
London Plan can not be adopted in its current form without further changes being made as outlined in the Secretary of State’s letter
Due to the advanced nature of the DLP increasing weight should be attached to those policies which the Inspector’s report considered sound and those policies which the Secretary of State did not raise objections to Nevertheless the London Plan 2016 remains the statutory development plan until such stage as the
replacement plan is adopted and as such applications should continue to be
determined in accordance with the 2016 London Plan, while noting that account needs to be taken of emerging policies

Consultation Responses from Statutory Consultees
Sport England
Thank you for consulting Sport England on the above planning application The site
is considered to constitute playing field, or
land last used as playing field, as defined in The Town and Country Planning
(Development Management Procedure) (England) Order 2015 (Statutory Instrument
2015 No 595) As such Sport England is a statutory consultee
Sport England has sought to consider the application in light of the National
Planning Policy Framework (particularly Para 97) and against its own playing fields policy Unfortunately there is insufficient information to enable Sport England to adequately assess the proposal or to make a substantive response Please
therefore could the following information be provided as soon as possible:
1 The current site is being used by cricket and football the proposed and
existing site plans do not show the pitches Therefore we require summer and winter playing pitches layouts showing dimensions from the cricket
squares and football pitches in relation to the proposal; and
2 If there is to be any displacement of sport from the site due to the temporary use, we require to know the location for the proposed displacement
Sport England's Playing Fields Policy and Guidance document, which includes the type of information required in order for us to evaluate a planning application
against our policy, can be viewed via the below link:
www.sportengland.org/playingfieldspolicy (see Annex B)
Sport England's interim position on this proposal is to submit a holding objection
However we will happily review our position following the receipt of all the further information requested above As I am currently unable to make a substantive
response, in accordance with the Order referred to above, the 21 days for formally
Trang 16responding to the consultation will not commence until I have received all the
information requested above
Should the local planning authority be minded to grant planning permission for the proposal, contrary to Sport England's holding
objection, then in accordance with The Town and Country Planning (Consultation) (England) Direction 2009, the application should be referred to the Secretary of State, via the National Planning Casework Unit
Officer Comment
Following discussions with Sports England, the holding objection is tied into discussions in relation to the main school application, it is anticipated that this will
be resolved prior to committee and will be reported in the Addendum
