Please make your comments in the box below. When referring to the schedule, please include the appropriate reference number e.g. MM1_AONB.
Thank you for the opportunity for Network Rail to comment on the ‘Arnside & Silverdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty Development Plan Document (AONB DPD) – Consultation on Main Modifications’ consultation (MM5.3.7).
Allocation AS23 (A26/A27) - Station Yard, Arnside – includes land which Network Rail has an interest in. It is understood that this land was previously subject to a licence being granted to the council, which was requested to Network Rail last year to be put on a more permanent lease. However, it is my understanding that the council did not pursue the lease. A plan is attached with the leased area marked in hatched pink.
In light of the above it may be the case that Network Rail has a shred value interest in any development on the site.
In addition to the above, Network Rail wished to communicate general comments from an Asset Protection perspective in relation to this site:
Asset Protection general comment
1. Prior to commencement Network Rail will need to be in receipt of a signed Basic Asset Protection Agreement (BAPA) in place. This is to cover costs of reviews of Risk Assessment and Method Statement (RAMS) and any associated on-site supervision by Network Rail. The RAMS would need to be accepted by Network Rail prior to commencement of works on site.
a) Risk and Method Statements to be accepted by Network Rail:-
b) Works to install new fencing.
c) Excavation works
d) Footpath construction
I would be happy to discuss the above in further detail if needed.
Kind regards,
Michael Gradwell
