Recommendation That the Area South Committee notes the content of this report. Surface Dressing Weather this year has been fairly kind to our surface dressing program. It commenced in June and was completed through various phases by the end of August. After this time the road temperatures are too unpredictable to ensure there are no surface failures. Patching work has already been completed for next year’s surface dressing program which mainly concentrates on Class A and B roads. Surface Dressing is the practice of applying a bitumen tack coat to the existing road surface and rolling in stone chippings. Whilst this practice is not the most PR friendly, when carried out correctly it is highly effective and can bring significant improvements to the highway infrastructure. Verge Cutting Grass cutting this year has been difficult due to the rapid growth of vegetation and as you can appreciate; our works are largely governed by resource. With a highway network exceeding 3,500km in length, the size of the task is significant. The County Council therefore has a policy and procedures that are in place to ensure the work is carried out in the most safe, effective and economic way.

  • Appeal Decision
    Appeal Decision Hearing opened on 6 March 2012 Site visits made on 6 and 7 March 2012 by Andrew Pykett BSc(Hons) PhD MRTPI an Inspector appointed by the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government Decision date: 21 March 2012 Appeal Ref: APP/R3325/A/11/2162443 Land at Moorhays Farm, Elm Lane, Charlton Musgrove, Wincanton, Somerset BA9 8JR • The appeal is made under section 78 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 against a failure to give notice within the prescribed period of a decision on an application for planning permission. • The appeal is made by Keens Cheddar Ltd against South Somerset District Council. • The application Ref: 11/00325/FUL, is dated 18 January 2011. • The development proposed is the erection of two wind turbines (24m hub height and 9m radius blades) with ancillary development. • The hearing sat for 2 days on 6 and 7 March 2012. Preliminaries 1. The details of the proposed development are as recorded above. The plans submitted with the application indicate that a specific potential turbine has already been identified – the Endurance E­3120 50kW model – with a hub height of 24.6m and a blade length of 9.2m. The appellant records that the turbine has a 30 year design life, and it was agreed at the hearing that, in the event of the appeal succeeding, a condition restraining the development to a temporary period of 25 years would be necessary and reasonable. I have considered the appeal on this basis. 2. The appeal is a failure case but the council has recorded that, notwithstanding the Planning Officer’s positive recommendation, it would have refused planning permission on the grounds of an adverse impact on landscape, heritage assets, and the use of both local rights of way and Wincanton Racecourse.

  • Area North Half Yearly Report
    Highway Service Report for Area West Lead Officer: Mike Fear, Assistant Highway Service Manager, Somerset County Council Contact Details: Tel: 0845 345 9155 Purpose of the Report Being the first report for the 2015/16 financial year, I aim to give a brief report of the highway works carried out last financial year in Area West and our proposed works programme for 2015/2016. Recommendation That members note the report. Surface Dressing Surface Dressing is the practice of applying a bitumen tack coat to the existing road surface and then rolling in stone chippings. Whilst this practice is not the most PR friendly, it is highly effective in preserving the integrity of the road surface. This year we are Surface Dressing 53 sites across South Somerset, 13 of which are substantial lengths of A and B roads. Sections of the A356 and A30 were proposed to be Surface Dressed but the design stage identified that some sections were rich in bitumen from previous surface applications so a High Pressure water jet re-texturing process was applied week commencing 11th May to remove this excess and restore the texture depth to the surface aggregate for grip and skid resistance. It will remain monitored to study this methods effectiveness. The Surface Dressing within South Somerset has already commenced and is due completion by the end of June but at the time of this report there is already a weeks delay due to weather conditions. Grass Cutting Grass cutting is a difficult task to carry out to the satisfaction of all. The highway network exceeds 3500km in length; therefore the size of the task is significant.
