    HIGHWAY VERGE MANAGEMEN T Planning and Development Note Date 23rd January 2019 Version Number 2 Highway Verge Management Review Date 30th March 2024 Author Geoff Sinclair/Richard Edmonds Highway Verge Management PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT NOTE INTRODUCTION Planning and Development Notes (PDN) aim to review and collate the City Corporation’s (CoL) property management issues for key activities, alongside other management considerations, to give an overview of current practice and outline longer term plans. The information gathered in each report will be used by the CoL to prioritise work and spending, in order to ensure firstly that the COL’s legal obligations are met, and secondly that resources are used in an efficient manner. The PDNs have been developed based on the current resource allocation to each activity. An important part of each PDN is the identification of any potential enhancement projects that require additional support. The information gathered in each report will be used by CoL to prioritise spending as part of the development of the 2019-29 Management Strategy and 2019-2022 Business Plan for Epping Forest. Each PDN will aim to follow the same structure, outlined below though sometimes not all sections will be relevant: Background – a brief description of the activity being covered; Existing Management Program – A summary of the nature and scale of the activity covered; Property Management Issues – a list of identified operational and health and safety risk management issues for the activity; Management Considerations
