Decision details

That the specification, plan, sections, estimate and provisional apportionment submitted by the Executive Director of Environment and Community Services, in respect of the scheme approved by the Environment Portfolio Holder on 18^th October 2016, be approved without modification; and

That the Council bears the whole of the cost of the works, to be met from funding provided by Section 106 funding and Transport for London under the provisions of Section 236(1) of the Highways Act 1980.

To obtain a Resolution of Approval under the Private Street Works Code contained in the Highways Act 1980, in respect of the making up and adoption of the eastern footway of Elmstead Lane, between Walden Road to the north, and Grange Drive.

To enable the street to become highway maintainable at public expense, the Council needs to adopt it. The Council will only do this following improvement to the appropriate standards. The improvement works may be carried out under the provisions of the Private Street Works Code, but for this to occur the Council has to make two distinct resolutions: a First Resolution giving details of those aspects of the street with which it is dissatisfied; and a further resolution, a Resolution of Approval.  This resolution approves details of the works required to bring the street up to a suitable standard, an estimate of the costs of such works and a provisional apportionment of these costs amongst the owners of the premises fronting the street, which includes adjoining and abutting.
