No work must commence on any phase until a Stage 2 Road Safety Audit has been carried out in respect of that phase and as necessary all issues raised incorporated into an amended design approved by the local highway authority or any relevant exceptions approved by the local highway authority.

No work must commence on any phase until traffic management provisions have been agreed with the local highway authority.
