## 1. Introduction

AECOM has been commissioned by Birchover Stone Limited to undertake an annual visual assessment of the condition of the road between Birchover Quarry and the B5056. The annual survey is required to satisfy condition 42 of the planning permission (ref NP/DDD/0312/0257) and obligation 8 of the Section 106 agreement.  Planning condition 42 states:
'The site operator shall, throughout the period of use of the site accesses in connection with the approved development, submit to the Mineral Planning Authority no later than 7 May each year the results of annual surveys with the Local Highway Authority of the condition of the highway along the designated HGV route as defined in condition 41 to this permission and identification of any damage thereto attributable to the approved development.'
This report is the second addendum to the initial condition survey carried out and reported in July 2015, BSLQ-AEC-HG-XX-RP-CE-00002 'Pavement Visual Condition Survey' and should be read in conjunction with that report and subsequent addendum report. The annual visual condition survey was undertaken on Wednesday 12 July 2017 by Peter Stevenson of Derbyshire County Council along with Darren Ball and Jordan Wardle of AECOM in accordance with the requirements of the obligation.

## 2. Visual Condition Survey 2.1 General

The original pavement condition report described above will provide general details of the existing carriageway, initial condition and survey methodology. This second annual follow up visual condition survey did not identify any significant additional defects from those identified during the initial survey. The survey photographs below highlight the current status of the previously identified defects and, where appropriate, provides commentary on any meaningful change. The initial report sequentially numbered the photographs of identified defects.  To enable the cross comparison of defects for future annual surveys the following photograph numbering system has been adopted.

Photograph x.x.x where –
x.0.0 represents the sequential annual visit. 0.x.0 represents the sequential defect identification number. 0.0.x represents the sequential photograph number associated with the defect.
Example: Photograph 2 identifying an existing defect within the initial report is now referenced as 'Defect 1.01.1 under the revised numbering system and represents the first annual inspection, the first identified defect and the first photograph associated with the defect.

## 2.2 Birchover Road

Defect 01 (main report photograph reference 2)
Slight deterioration of the access slab off the highway compared to the previous site visit but no significant change to the highway.

Defect 02 (main report photograph reference 3)
No significant change Defect 05 (main report photograph reference 6)
A Slight deterioration to the surface (surface dressing) caused by the turning of large vehicles into and out of the site. This is not considered to be a significant change.

Defect 06 (main report photograph reference 7)
No significant change. No photograph.

Defect 07 (main report photograph reference 8)
A slight deterioration of the surface (surface dressing) although this is not a significant change from the initial survey.

Defect 08 (main report photograph reference 9 to 11)
No significant change.

## 2.3 Barton Hill

Defect 09 (main report photograph reference 10)
No significant change.
Defect 10 (main report photograph 11 to 16)
Defect of delaminated surface dressing from Chainage 390 to 460. No significant change.

Defect 11 (main report photograph reference 17)
No significant change.

Defect 12
No significant change.

Defect 13 (main report photograph reference 18 & 19)
No significant change.

## 2.4 Main Street

Defect 16 (main report photograph reference 22)
No significant change.

## Defect 17 (Main Report Photograph Reference 23) No Significant Change, No Photograph.

Defect 18 (main report photograph reference 24)
No significant change. New patching works were evident on the westbound carriageway between Chainage 820 and 850 within the extents of carriageway deformation previously identified (Photographs 2.18.2 & 2.18.2).

Defect 19 (main report photograph reference 25)
No significant change.

## 2.5 The Mires

Defect 22 (main report photograph reference 28)
Carriageway patching was evident in the location of the previously identified longitudinal cracking. It should be noted this patching does not encompass the full extent of the crack identified.

Defect 23 (main report photograph reference 29)
No significant change.

Defect 24 (main report photograph reference 30)
Defect 25 (main report photograph reference 31)
No significant change.

Defect 26 (main report photograph reference 32)
No significant change.

Defect 27 (main report photograph reference 33)
No significant change, No Photograph.
Defect 28 (main report photograph reference 34 & 35)
No significant change.

Defect 31 (main report photograph reference 38)
No significant change.

Defect 37 (main report photograph reference 44 & 45)
No significant change.

## 3. Summary

The annual 2017 visual condition survey did not identify any significant change to existing defects identified during the initial and subsequent survey. There were also no additional defects identified during this survey. It should be noted that there were signs of continued deterioration of the surface dressing along the route but it was agreed with Peter (DCC Inspector) that this is likely to be natural wear and tear leading to suggest the trafficking of quarry traffic along the route has not caused any consequential damage to the carriageway.
