Condition 9 should read: Notwithstanding the plans submitted, no development above ground floor slab level shall commence until a scheme detailing the design of internal streets and spaces has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority in consultation with the Highway Authority.

Trees, other planting, growing media and planting aids VIII. Traffic signs and road markings.

The Road Safety Audit Brief and Report, and all other road safety audit documents, shall be submitted with the scheme for approval.
If the scheme proposes that any areas are shared between pedestrians and vehicles or where recommendations in Guidance On the Use of Tactile Paving Surfaces are not met then relevant disabled user groups (and/or national organisations representing them) shall be engaged as part of the design development process and the submitted scheme shall include both of the following. a) A Participative Inclusive Design Statement. This shall: explain the engagement undertaken with disabled user groups during the design development process; record their views and suggestions on the different options; and explain how these have shaped the submitted design proposals and other management plans. Where it has not been considered possible to accommodate views and suggestions in the submitted proposals and plans then the reasons for this shall be detailed. b) An Equality Assessment. As a minimum this shall identify and explain: each adverse impact arising from the proposals for different protected character groups; how these are known (which may be from appropriate consultation/engagement, research or guidance relevant to the protected character groups impacted); the alternatives considered to avoid or minimise these impacts; and, where some residual adverse impact remain, the objective justifications for why complete avoidance is not considered possible and why the scheme should nonetheless be considered acceptable.
The approved scheme shall be implemented prior to first occupation of that phase of the residential development and shall include the implementation of the recommendations of the stage 3 Road Safety Audit, with the Highway Authority acting as Overseeing Organisation. Thereafter the approved scheme shall be retained in use at all times, except that a further stage 4 Road Safety Audit shall be undertaken if any road traffic collisions are recorded within the 12 months of validated collision data available after scheme opening and the recommendations of that shall be implemented.
