Paragraph 48 Train speed at North Killingholme Haven PitsI1

No solid fuel for the purposes of the authorised development shall be received by rail until a scheme comprising or governing the manner of operation of trains serving the authorised development which limits the speed of those trains upon that part of the Killingholme Branch Line adjacent to North Killingholme Haven Pits, as shown on drawing 64042B-DCO-48, to 10 km/h, or other noise attenuation measures, with at least the same sound attenuation, to address the effects of those trains upon the North Killingholme Haven Pits, has been submitted to and approved by the relevant planning authority in consultation with Natural England. The scheme approved under this requirement shall incorporate provisions for noise monitoring.

The approved measures shall be implemented in relation to trains serving the authorised development.

This requirement shall not apply where the Killingholme Loop, or a scheme having similar effect, has been constructed to provide a connection between the existing Killingholme Branch Line and the Barton-upon-Humber to Habrough railway line, which would allow or require higher speeds.

The scheme approved under this requirement shall not fetter the powers of Network Rail with respect to operation of the railway in any way, nor impose any obligation upon Network Rail to impose or procure speed limits upon its railway network or request any other network and/or physical change.
