A Typical Planning Condition
Before development commences, a survey of the existing condition of the highway will be submitted and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The survey shall include carriageway and footway surfacing, verges, kerbs, edgings, street lighting, signing and white lining.
Upon completion of the development and before any new building is occupied, a highway condition survey identifying a scheme to reinstate any subsequent defects in the condition of the highway on (name of road) shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. All of the identified works shall be implemented before any part of the development is first brought into use.
The purpose of this condition survey is to ensure any defects in relation to the carriageway are recorded and agreed prior to construction traffic commencing. It protects both the Highway Authority and also the developer from protracted negotiations and sometimes expensive repairs at a later date.
