Decision details
Departure From Standard – Polished Stone Value reduction on the A417 Stretton Grandison
Decision Maker: Acting Assistant Director for Highways and Transport
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Purpose:
The change in surface colour supports the
principle of changing the environment of the road through this
village. This principle is founded in the DfT’s Manual for
Streets and Manual for Streets 2.
This is anticipated to deliver a number of benefits to the
community such as improving the road safety of the route through
reduction in vehicle speeds and improving village amenity. A change
from a Movement status (strategic road) to a Place
status/environment principles set out in the Manual for Streets
documentation.
The stone required in the surface treatment is a different
specification to the normal design. As such there is a requirement
for a Departure from Standard below. The parameters are acceptable
as set out in the Departure documentation.
Please note the attached is a copy of the documented inserted into
the RoOD.
