DISTRICT:	Rushcliffe	 Date received	14/12/2022	
OFFICER:	Craig Miles			
PROPOSAL:	Installation of renewable energy generating solar farm comprising ground-mounted photovoltaic solar arrays, together with substation, inverter stations, security measures, site access, internal access tracks and other ancillary infrastructure, including landscaping and biodiversity enhancements	D.C. No.	22/02241/FUL	
LOCATION:    	Land East Of Hawksworth And Northwest Of Thoroton Shelton Road Thoroton Nottinghamshire			
APPLICANT:   	Mrs Claire Chamberlain			

Further to initial highway comments dated 19/01/2023, the Highway Authority is now in receipt of additional information that has been submitted by the applicant.

The applicant has confirmed that the condition survey extent will be amended to cover the full length of Thoroton Road up to the site access, together with the section of Hawksworth Road that forms part of the haul route.  The applicant will be liable to repair any damage to the highway attributed to the construction traffic.  An updated CTMP will be required to address this matter prior to planning permission being granted.

The additional information also proposes a passing bay to be provided at the site entrance, large enough for a HGV to sit as another passes.  The passing bay is proposed just inside the site rather than widening/taking out more hedge.  Considering the nature of Thoroton Lane, the provision of a passing bay within the site is accepted.  The application documents should be updated accordingly.

RECOMMENDATION:  It is requested that the application documents are updated to reflect the above, which can then be secured via condition.
