Table 7 - Street State Codes
9.2.3.3
Street STATE = 1 must only be used when either:
a) construction has started, and the Street meets the definition described in Section 48 (1)(c) of the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991. This definition is ‘any land laid out as a way whether it is for the time being formed as a way or not…’. See Appendix D, Scenario 5.
or
b) there was dedication of Highway, for example through a Section 38 agreement process under the Highways Act 1980 or through a legal order. In this case, there does not have to be any visible manifestation of the Street. See Appendix D, Scenario 6 and 8.
9.2.3.4
Street STATE = 1 – Under construction, must not be used for Streets which exist on paper only as part of the planning process. Streets that are neither dedicated as Highways nor ‘laid out as a Way whether it is for the time being formed as a Way or not’ cannot be present in the NSG.
9.2.3.5
The Authority Street Custodian must inform the Authority Address Custodian if changes are made to Street STATE codes.
9.2.3.6
Open Streets are lengths of Street that are open to the free flow of the traffic allowed in the Street HIGHWAY_DEDICATION_CODE. It does not refer to the Section 38 agreement, Highways Act 1980 adoption date, which can be a year or more later. The rules are therefore the same for prospectively adoptable Highway and Private Streets. See Appendix D, Scenario 10.
9.2.3.7
If a Street has more than one Street STATE along its length, then apply the following rules:
- If any part of the Street is open then Street STATE = 2 – Open, must be present in the NSG.
- If no part of the Street is open then Street STATE = 1 – Under construction, must be present in the NSG.
9.2.3.8
If a Street is closed it must be closed with a Street STATE = 4 – Permanently closed. See Appendix D, Scenario 20. This must only be used if both of the following conditions apply:
- The Street no longer exists in the real world.
- All the Highway rights were removed by legal order.
9.2.3.9
If a Street is still a Highway, then it is still an open Street for the purposes of Section 48 of NRSWA, regardless of whether it is usable by traffic or whether it has any properties on it. A Street that is a Highway can only be closed when all the Highway rights are Stopped Up, for example under Section 116, Highways Act 1980 or Section 247, Town and Country Planning Act 1992.
9.2.3.10
A Record with Street STATE = 4 - Permanently closed must have a corresponding entry in the STATE_DATE Field. The STATE_DATE in this case must be the same as the STREET_END_DATE.
9.2.3.11
If a Street is recorded in error, this Street must be closed and present in the NSG for at least 3 months before being permanently deleted from the LSG.
9.2.3.12
If Street data is reopened because it was closed by mistake or the Street reopens, the STREET_END_DATE must be deleted and the Street STATE code and STATE_DATE set to the correct value. A new USRN must not be created.
9.2.3.13
If a legacy Record in the LLPG has a type 1 Street Name recorded which does not represent a length of Highway, then Street STATE = 5 - Street for addressing purposes only, must be used. This ensures that the Record can be recorded into the LSG to maintain synchronicity between the two datasets, and users of the data are aware that the Street is not a Highway. See Appendix D, Scenario 21.
9.2.3.14
Dates recorded in the STATE_DATE and STREET_START_DATE Fields must be the point at which the ground is broken, and construction commences. If this date is unknown, a default of 1st June 2015, must be used.
