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)
