No point in having Design Standards if those Standards are not complied with in the build.Well they’ve built the bloody thing now. Surely this kind of thing would be picked up during planning?
A similar situation has arisen at Worcestershire Parkway. I posted a link to an ORR letter signing that one off, albeit with a 12 month (temporary) deviation from Standards, along with other conditions.
The detail will no doubt be different for Market Harborough but the iterative process will be comparable.
Right First Time is of course the aim to avoid such.
