There are access points onto the operational railway at the following:
Authorised Access Point - Pedestrian
426391 / 265439
Authorised Access Point - Pedestrian
425403 / 266161
Network Rail access points must not be impacted by any proposals within the neighbourhood area. All roads, paths or ways providing access to any part of the railway undertaker's land both temporary and permanent, shall be kept open at all times (24/7, 365 - around the clock) during and after the development. Any development proposal must not encroach onto any Network Rail access road, paths or ways of access to any part of Network Rail land. This also includes emergency vehicles ability to access and exit Network Rail land. Developers are reminded that each Network Rail access point has a specific right of way and as such any developer is requested to contact the Network Rail Operational Property Services Team to discuss the impact of the proposal upon our access before any works commence on site.

Asset Protection
That any proposal within the neighbourhood area does not impact upon the railway infrastructure / Network Rail land e.g.
* Drainage works / water features
* Encroachment onto Network Rail land or our air-space
* Excavation and earthworks, bunds and embankments
* Wind turbines / solar farms
* Siting of structures/buildings less than 2m from the Network Rail boundary / Party Wall Act issues
* Lighting impacting upon train drivers ability to perceive signals
* Landscaping that could impact upon overhead lines or Network Rail boundary treatments
* Any piling works
* Any scaffolding works
* Any public open spaces and proposals where minors and young children may be likely to use a site which could result in trespass upon the railway (which we would remind the council is a criminal offence under s55 British Transport Commission Act 1949)
* Any use of crane or plant
* Any fencing works / acoustic fencing works and boundary treatments (we would request that any development adjacent to the railway erects a minimum 1.8m high steel palisade trespass proof fence to prevent unauthorised access onto the railway.
* Any demolition works
* Any hard standing areas
* Works adjoining / adjacent or near to railway stations
* Any works over or adjacent to a tunnel (which does fall within the plan area)

We would very strongly recommend that the Warwick - Budbrooke Neighbourhood Plan authority / group are made aware that any proposal within 10m of the operational railway boundary will also require review and approval by the Network Rail Asset Protection Team, and such schemes should be accompanied by a risk assessment and a method statement. No works should commence on site without the approval of the Network Rail Asset Protection Engineer. Network Rail is required to recover any expenses incurred in facilitating third party proposals, a BAPA may be required for the works on site.
