Paragraph 16 Highway lightingI1

No part of the authorised development is to be brought into use until a written scheme of the proposed highway lighting to be provided for that part of the authorised development has been submitted to and approved in writing by the relevant planning authority following consultation with the county planning authority and the strategic highway authority on matters related to their functions.

The standard of the highway lighting to be provided for the highway lighting scheme referred to in sub-paragraph (1) must either be in accordance with the standard of the highway lighting included in chapter 9 (landscape and visual) of the environmental statement or, where the standard of the highway lighting proposed materially differs from the standard of the highway lighting identified in the environmental statement, the undertaker must provide evidence with the written scheme submitted for approval that the standard of the highway lighting proposed would not give rise to any materially new or materially different environmental effects in comparison with those reported in the environmental statement taking into account the lighting identified in it. The highway lighting scheme must encompass the specification, level of provision, light spillage, intensity and brightness of the highway lighting.

The highway lighting must be provided in accordance with the scheme approved under sub-paragraph (1).

Nothing in this requirement restricts the lighting of the authorised development during its construction or where temporarily required for maintenance.
