Modification of Previous Permission

The revised sheet identifies a major watermain corridor

Visible issued watermain sheet, revision B

What the evidence says
Revision B of drawing 30380-011 identifies a 1,600 mm DCC watermain, dimensions 11.5 m on each side of its centreline and separately marks a 5 m manhole/underground-service exclusion zone. It calls for service construction to minimise disturbance to existing hedgerow vegetation. This whole-school interface sheet is not a quantity schedule of new works solely for the amendment.

Why it may matter — interpretation
Civil designers need to coordinate school works with the existing strategic services and working corridors shown.

What is not established
Utility diversion approval, a new-services quantity schedule and installed services are unverified.

Why it may matter — interpretation
Cycle-shelter suppliers need the agreed capacity and positions before treating the package as fixed.

What is not established
