14.3.4.1
Private Streets are Streets which are not a Highway Maintainable at Public Expense. If an agreement exists to adopt the Street in the future and if that agreement is registered as a Local Land Charge, then STREET_STATUS = 2 – Prospectively Maintainable at Public Expense must be used. In all other cases STREET_STATUS = 3 – Neither 1, 2, 4 nor 5 must be used.
14.3.4.2
Any notice received by the Local Highway Authority on the Private Street does not convey any obligation on the Local Highway Authority to manage the works on the Street.
14.3.4.3
Utility companies or Works Promoters must still liaise directly with the residents of that Street before undertaking any works.
14.3.4.4
If the Private Street Manager has an independent EToN system, details must be added to the Local Highway Authority street works system under a DISTRICT_REF_MAINTAINING code.
14.3.4.5
This code must be agreed with the Private Street Manager and it must be used to ensure that notices are directed appropriately via the Local Highway Authority OD file.
14.3.4.6
A process must be in place to ensure that changes to Operational District data held in any independent EToN system information are communicated to the Local Highway Authority and therefore be in the NSG.
14.3.4.7
If the Private Street Manager is known to the Local Highway Authority and does not have an EToN system, then the Local Highway Authority must be recorded as the INTEREST_TYPE = 1 - Primary Notice Authority.
14.3.4.8
A separate Operational District code in the Local Highway Authority OD file can be assigned to reflect this situation. The function of the Operational District in the OD file must be in the NSG as Private Street Manager.
14.3.4.9
If the Private Street Manager is unknown to the Local Highway Authority, the Local Highway Authority must be in the NSG as INTEREST_TYPE = 1 - Primary Notice Authority. DISTRICT_REF_AUTHORITY = 998 can be used for this purpose.
14.3.4.10
In these circumstances, a notice is generated and sent to the appropriate Local Highway Authority. However, it remains the responsibility of the Works Promoter to contact the residents directly.
14.3.4.11
A corresponding type 62 Construction Record declaring that the Street is private must also be in the NSG. For more information, see Section 15.
