Response Letter from Recor

                                       Figure 1 – Existing Shared Concrete Driveway

            The anticipated traffic loads and heavy vehicle movements are not significantly altered
            from existing conditions once construction traffic has ceased, with the addition of a
            single new dwelling resulting in a potential 7.4 additional trips per day, or 0.78
            additional peak hour movements in accordance with the RTA Guide to Traffic
            Generating Development Updated Traffic Surveys (2013).
            As an existing driveway which currently caters for similar traffic demands, the
            additional traffic volume is not considered to be an excessive demand that would
            compromise functionality of the access.

                    8. Provide a concept plan of the proposed driveway and its connection to the
                       existing driveway.

            The plan has been updated to indicate the proposed driveway and connection to the
            existing access driveway.

                    9. Provide swept path plans at the junction of the existing and proposed driveway.
                       The swept paths must be for a B99 vehicle as described in AS/NZS2890.1:2004
                       and the vehicle types that can be reasonably expected to utilise the driveway
                       for construction purposes (eg building material deliveries, concrete truck etc)

            A plan of the swept paths has been provided as plan 060 Swept Paths. The plans show
            a B99 vehicle is able to enter and exit from the proposed driveway. An MRV vehicle
            has been used as an indicative construction vehicle to demonstrate the extent of the
            expected swept paths for these vehicles. Construction traffic will be able to enter and
            exit the site however on departing the travelled path will extend beyond the concrete
            driveway. Any damage to the adjacent grasses surface or driveway would be repaired
            at the closeout of construction.
