Subject: RE: Newhaven PAR - Out of Hours Working

Dear Michael,

I refer to the e-mail you sent to Sarah on Wednesday, which sought approval for out of hours working in respect of the Newhaven Port Access Road (planning application ref: LW/2565/CC). I am responding to this request as Sarah is on leave this week.

I have given due consideration to your request and taken into account the nature of the works proposed and the potential impact of the works on the amenity of the local community. Whilst these works are proposed to be carried out during what are considered to be particularly unsociable hours, this has to be balanced against the necessity to undertake the works during railway possessions (in respect of the works proposed between the 10 and 15 August) and when traffic levels are light (in respect of the works between the 17 and 29 August). Consequently, in accordance with the powers delegated to me and pursuant to the provisions within Condition 17 of the above planning permission, I hereby APPROVE the additional hours of working as set out in your email of the 5 August.  This is on the basis that the works are undertaken in accordance with the details set out in your aforementioned e-mail, and in particular the mitigation measures proposed.

Please note that if at any time the activities being carried out in these extended hours give rise to justifiable complaint, or demonstrable harm to amenity, I reserve the right to withdraw this temporary amendment to the permitted working hours. Please also note that should you receive any complaints, you should notify the County Planning  Authority within two working days of receiving the complaint.

Kind Regards,

Edward Sheath

Sarah,

Good Afternoon, hope you are well

Town and Country Planning Act 1990 relating to Newhaven Port Access Road, reference LW/2565/CC – Condition 17

We are writing to request out of hours working in relation to the Newhaven Port Access Road Project. The out of hours working relates to the following works:-

1. Painting remedial works to the outside of the beam sections across the railway.

We are planning our works in consultation with Network Rail during the following times:-

• Monday 10^th August 2020, 22.45hrs – Tuesday 11^th August 2020, 04.35hrs
• Tuesday 11^th August 2020, 22.45hrs – Wednesday 12^th August  2020, 04.35hrs
• Wednesday 12^th August 2020, 22.45hrs – Thursday 13^th August 2020, 04.35hrs
• Thursday 13^th August 2020, 22.45hrs – Friday 14^th August 2020, 04.35hrs
• Friday 14^th August 2020, 22.45hrs – Saturday 15^th August 2020, 04.35hrs

The painting remedial works are required following the removal of the temporary shutters over the railway. The works will involve cleaning the girders and applying the 3 coat paint system to the beams where some minor damage has been sustained. All access to the beams will be from a mobile elevated platform from the newly constructed bridge deck.

The works are required during a night time railway possession so that the required construction plant can carry out operations safely and to prevent any risks to the operational railway.

To minimise impact on the local community we propose the following mitigation:

• Task lighting (if required) will be arranged around the perimeter of the works facing downwards and into the works to minimise light spillage.
• Machines and equipment will be turned off when not in use.
• Reversing beacons will be turned off and alternative safe movement practices adopted. This will include exclusion zones and standing down operations during plant movements.

The main plant and equipment planned for the works are:

• Mobile elevated platform.

There are 9 No. planned personnel for the works:

• 1 no BAM Site Agent
• 1 no BAM General Foreman
• 3 no Railway Safety protection staff
• 2 No. Painting Operatives
• 1 No. Painting Inspector
• 1 no Mobile elevated platform operator

The works will be accessed from our south compound currently located within Newhaven Port and within our current site footprint of the Newhaven Port Access Road Scheme.

2.         Kerb realignment works Mckinley Way, Drove Retail Park.

We are planning our works in consultation with ESCC Highway’s team.

As part of our works for the Newhaven PAR project we are required to carry out some minor kerb amendments and relocate the existing tactile crossing (see attached drawing 6000032-WSP-HKF-NPAR-DR-CH-0003) to the entrance of the Drove Retail Park of off Mckinley Way. The entrance is shown below.

Due to the location and volume of traffic using the retail park during normal working hours we intend to complete these works between 20.00hrs – 06.00hrs using Traffic management priority boards over a period of two weeks when minimal traffic is entering the retail park.

• Monday 17^th August 2020, 20.00 hrs – Saturday 29^th August 2020, 06.00hrs (no works will be carried out on Saturday or Sunday nights)

The works are required during off peak and night time periods so that the required construction plant can carry out operations safely and to prevent any traffic delays during the normal working hours for the retail park.

To minimise impact on the local community we propose the following mitigation:

• All breaking out operations will be carried out during the earlier part of the shift.
• Task lighting will be arranged around the area of works facing downwards and into the works to minimise light spillage.
• Machines and equipment will be turned off when not in use.
• Reversing beacons will be turned off and alternative safe movement practices adopted. This will include exclusion zones and standing down operations during plant movements.

The main plant and equipment planned for the works are:

• 5tonne excavator
• 10tonne dumper
• Flat bed transit pickup
• Concrete mixer

There are 6 No. planned personnel for the works:

• 1 no BAM Site Agent
• 1 no BAM General Foreman
• 1 no Ganger man
• 2 No. General Operatives
• 1 No. Excavator Operator
• 1 No Dumper Operator

The works will be accessed from our North compound currently located at the end of Mckinley Way and within our current site footprint of the Newhaven Port Access Road Scheme.

In order to keep the public advised of our works an advance memo will be placed on our information boards positioned around the works explaining the works, with contact details of the site team should further questions arise from the general public regarding the works.

This application is made on behalf of the Assistant Director, Operations, East Sussex County Council and the relevant cost code for payment of fees due is C.5.13.067.2.

We trust that our proposals meet with your approval.
