2. Workstreams

The Street Manager system will, by default, create a workstream with the prefix of ‘000’ for every organisation. Before users start raising works in Street Manager (production), their organisation must set up their workstreams as PAA/PAs cannot be raised using the ‘000’ workstream.

When organisations set up their workstreams, they can choose to allocate numerical prefixes between 1 - 999. See works reference number (WRN) section for details on how the workstream prefix will be used when raising works.

(Previously section 15 & 15.1 in Business rules v0.1 draft)

---

3. Works submissions and applications

3.1. Works reference number (WRN)

• The WRN is generated in the following format: {SWA prefix} {workstream prefix} {promoter works reference}
  • SWA prefix - Two characters of the related organisation from the SWA code list.
  • Workstream prefix - A minimum of three numbers with leading zeros where applicable e.g. ‘001’. See the workstream section for more details.
  • Promoter works reference - Between 1 to 19 characters. May be generated by the Street Manager system or provided by the user. If generated by Street Manager, the promoter works reference will consist of a randomly generated 8-digit number (following the unique WRN rule).
• The WRN including the prefix must be unique in the Street Manager system e.g. the same organisation may have two works records with the same ‘promoter works reference’ if the works were created under two different workstreams.
• WRNs are not case-sensitive and displayed as uppercase.
• WRNs can only include the following special characters: dashes (-) or underscores (_) to separate characters
• Works records and WRNs are created automatically alongside other records such as forward plans and permit applications.

(Previously section 1.1 in Business rules v0.1 draft)

3.2. Works statuses

A diagram of works statuses

3.3. Forward plans

• Forward plans are for giving advance notice of major works only.
• It is only possible to add forward plans for a start date in the present or future, and with an end date in the future.
• Forward plans can be progressed to PAA or PAs (specifically for highway works, see section 17.6), edited or cancelled while in the ‘Raised’ status.
• All forward plan details can be edited with the exception of namely the workstream, the highway authority and the USRN.
• When progressed, the forward plan’s status automatically gets set to ‘Progressed’.

(Previously section 22 in Business rules v0.1 draft)

3.4. PAA and permit applications (PA)

3.4.1. Permit reference number

• The permit reference number is generated in the following format: {WRN} - {numerical suffix}
  • WRN - See the works reference number section for more details.
  • Numerical suffix - A minimum of two numbers starting from 01 for the first PAA or PA created on the works record and counts up consecutively for each additional PA (i.e. -01, -02, -03 etc).
• A permit reference number is automatically generated when a PAA or permit application has been submitted.
• The permit reference number is the reference number that promoters needs to display on on-site permit boards.

(Previously section 1.2 in Business rules v0.1 draft)

3.4.2. Works types

• Works types are as follows:
  • Planned - Minor, Standard, and Major works and are not Immediate
  • Immediate - See the NRSWA (link available from SM Glossary) for more details on immediate works. The immediate works type (i.e. immediate urgent and immediate emergency) will be determined based on the answer to “Is there a risk of damage to people or property?”

(Previously section 1.3 in Business rules v0.1 draft)

3.4.3. Works categories

• Works categories are as follows:
  • Minor
  • Standard
  • Major PAA/PA
  • Immediate (Urgent)
  • Immediate (Emergency)

A diagram of Works category logic

(Previously section 1.4 in Business rules v0.1 draft)

3.4.4. Works activity types

• Works activity types available are as follows:
  • Core sampling: Coring is the method of testing by removing a sample of the reinstatement (a core) finished/completed reinstatement and is part of the inspection process. 
  • Disconnection or alteration of supply: Work type that involves the disconnection or re-routing of supplies.
  • Diversionary works: Works undertaken by a Works Promoter to move or divert its existing apparatus to enable 3rd party works to be happen. 
  • Highway improvement works
  • Highway repair and maintenance works 
  • New service connection: Works type undertaken to connect new supplies usually for individual customers.
  • Optional permit (no fee): e.g. for traffic management. HA may add discount to permit fee if applicable.
  • Permanent reinstatement: Works undertaken by a works promoter to replace interim reinstatement with a permanent reinstatement.
  • Remedial works: Works undertaken by a works promoter where the initial reinstatement was not compliant with the specification.
  • Section 50
  • Statutory infrastructure works
  • Utility asset works: Works undertaken by a Utility Works Promoter as part of a rehabilitation or replacement scheme. These are usually planned works.
  • Utility repair and maintenance works: Works undertaken by a Utility Works Promoter in repairing or maintaining its asset. These works are usually short duration works or works that are not planned.
  • Works for rail purposes
  • Works for road purposes: As defined in section 86(2) of NRSWA, “works for road purposes means works of any of the following descriptions executed in relation to a highway: (a) works for the maintenance of the highway; (b) any works under powers conferred by Part V of the Highways Act 1980 (improvement); (c) the erection, maintenance, alteration or removal of traffic signs on or near the highway; or (d) the construction of a crossing for vehicles across a footway or grass verge or the strengthening or adaptation of a footway for use as a crossing for vehicles”

(Previously section 1.14 in Business rules v0.1 draft)

3.4.5. Adding PAA & PA

• PAs may be added resulting in a new works record or added to an existing works record.
• PAs can only be added to an existing works record if the works record does not contain a Minor/Standard/Major PA that is ‘in progress’ or ‘submitted’.
• If a Major works is being added and it’s either the first application on the works record or the previous permits have been cancelled, revoked or refused, it should be a PAA
• Some example scenarios:
  • Minor permit added and seen right through to completion. Major works can then be added to the works without adding a PAA
  • Minor permit added but then is cancelled. PAA then must be added for a major works as it’s now technically the first permit on the works
  • Standard permit added and then refused by the HA. PAA then must be added for a major works as it’s now technically the first permit on the works
  • Major permit added as first permit on the works record - PAA required in this instance
• A major PAA may be progressed to PA if it is in ‘submitted’ or ‘granted’ status.
• Once a PAA is progressed to a PA, you can not have any more PAAs on that works record.
  • PAA can be added again after all PAs have been cancelled, revoked or refused.

(Previously section 1.12 in Business rules v0.1 draft)

3.4.6. Early start

• If a PAA/PA does not provide sufficient advance notice (based on the proposed start date provided), including when the proposed start date is altered during a change request, the promoter will be required to specify if they have pre-approval for an early start and additional information.
• The early start calculation will be carried out immediately after the proposed start and end dates have been entered during the apply for PAA/PA process.
• The early start calculation will include the day of the application is made.
• The minimum notice period by works category are as follows:

Works category	Minimum notice period
Major PAA	3 calendar months (84 calendar days in Street Manager)
Major PA	10 working days
Standard	10 working days
Minor	3 working days
Immediate	Not applicable

(Previously section 1.9 in Business rules v0.1 draft)

3.4.7. PAA & PA assessment decision options

• The assessment decision options for PAA/PA are as follows:

Assessment decision	Applicable for
Grant	All PAA/PA
Refuse	All PAA/PA
Modification request	PA only (not in ‘Closed’ status)
Grant with duration challenge	Immediate PA only

• The assessment decision may be changed to grant or refuse on PAs that have a status of ‘modification requested’ and no change requests awaiting assessment.
  • Modification requested PAs will not deem as the action is with the promoter.
• A modification request assessment decision can only be given once on a PA. Once an updated permit is submitted, only a grant or refuse assessment decision will be available
• Street Manager will automatically set a record’s assessment decision under the following circumstances:
  • Immediate works that are started and completed before an assessment decision has been manually submitted will have the assessment decision of “Granted (auto)”.
  • When a major PA is assessed, the associated PAA will take on the matching assessment decision if the an assessment decision has not been manually submitted for the PAA. e.g. if a major PA is refused, the PAA will have the assessment decision of “Refused (auto)”.

(Previously section 25.3 in Business rules v0.1 draft)

A diagram of PAA/PA assessment decision options

3.4.8. PAA & PA response periods

• The response period is the time period that a Highway Authority (HA) has to assess and evaluate a PAA/PA (or any other promoter request) prior to the PAA/PA deeming.
• The response period will begin from the day of the application submission if received before 16:30 on a working day. Any applications received after 16:30 on any working day (or at any time on a non-working day) is deemed to have been given on the next working day, and that is when the response period will begin from
• Note that for response periods calculated in calendar days i.e. Major PAAs, the end date of the response period could be a weekend/public holiday since the calculation is in calendar days and not working days
• The response period for each works category are as follows:

Works category	Response period
Major PAA	28 calendar days
Major PA	5 working days
Standard	5 working days
Minor	2 working days
Immediate	2 working days
Modified PA (response to HA’s modification request)	2 working days

(Previously section 1.8 & 1.10 in Business rules v0.1 draft)

3.4.9. Cancelling PAA & PA

• PAA applications and planned PA may be cancelled if in ‘submitted’ (pre-assessment), ‘granted’, ‘refused’ or ‘modification requested’ statuses and works start has not been logged.
• Only the active permit can be cancelled i.e. the latest one that has been submitted
• Immediate PA may be cancelled whilst works is ‘in progress’ (immediate works are automatically placed into in progress upon creation).
• Immediate PA may not be cancelled if
  • works stop has been logged
  • reinstatement(s) have been added
  • the immediate PA has been revoked
• The PAA/PA status and works status will be set to ‘Cancelled’.

(Previously section 7 in Business rules v0.1 draft)

3.4.10. PAA & PA statuses

(Previously section 1.5 & 10 in Business rules v0.1 draft)

3.4.10.1. PAA statuses

A diagram of PA statuses

3.4.11. Resubmitting PA following refusal

• If permit has been refused and the user wishes to resubmit, they can submit a revised permit on the work record - ‘Apply for works’ next to the Applications table.
• All the information from the previous permit - except timings, is collaboration involved and conditions - are defaulted in the new permit
• Location can’t be changed when raising a new permit on the same works following a refusal
• A new permit can only be raised if the existing one has been refused, closed, or cancelled. If a permit has been revoked, user needs to first cancel that permit in order to raise a new one

---

4. Change requests (CR)

4.1. Change request reference number

• The change request reference number is generated in the following format: {permit reference number} -CR- {numerical suffix}
  • See the permit reference number section for more details.
  • Numerical suffix - A minimum of two numbers starting from 01 for the first change request created on the PA and counts up consecutively for each additional change request (i.e. -01, -02, -03 etc).

4.2. Change request types

• The change request types are as follows:

Change request type	Available for	Criteria	CR assessment required?
Promoter imposed change	Promoter	Change initiated when PA is in status ‘Submitted’ (awaiting assessment)	No (Assess PAA/PA directly)
Promoter change request	Promoter	Change initiated when PA has assessment decision as ‘Granted’	Yes
Modified permit	Promoter	Change initiated when PA is in status ‘Modification requested’	No (Assess PA directly)
Works extension	Promoter	Same criteria as ‘Promoter change request’ and includes a change to the proposed end date. Only applies to works that are in progress	Yes
HA imposed change	HA	Change initiated when PA has assessment decision as ‘Granted’	No

• For modified permit, promoter imposed and HA imposed change types, the changes made will be applied automatically to the PA with the change request record - with status set to ‘Submitted’ - available to see what has changed historically, and these change request types are not chargeable.
  • In the case of a modified permit change request (response to modification requested by HA), this means that only the outstanding PA will need to be assessed once the changes have been applied.
• A PA’s response period is not affected by promoter imposed changes (i.e. changes while the PA is awaiting assessment).
• A works extension change request may include other changes in addition to a change to the proposed end date.
• HA imposed change is currently limited to adding or removing conditions.

(Previously section 5.1, 5.3, 5.4, 5.8 & 26 in Business rules v0.1 draft)

4.3. Adding change requests

• Each PA may have only one change request awaiting assessment.
• A change request may be added to PAs that are not ‘Refused’, ‘Closed’ or ‘Revoked’ (as long as the work hasn’t been started. If work was started and then revoked, a change request can be added).
• The works category may be updated if the works duration is changed.
• A change request on a planned permit cannot change the category from Minor or Standard to Major or PAA.
• Change requests may not be added to a PAA.
• All fields apart from the following can be changed on a PA:
  • Permit reference number or works reference number
  • USRN
  • USRN address e.g. road/street
  • Road category
  • Primary notice authority the PA is submitted to
• Proposed start date may not be changed if works start has been logged.
• All change requests show the original details and changed values.

(Previously section 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 & 5.6 in Business rules v0.1 draft)

4.4. Change request assessment decision options

• The assessment decision options for change requests are as follows:

Assessment decision	Applicable for CR type	Assessment decision impact
Grant	Promoter change request & works extension	Changes will be applied to the PA.
Refuse	Promoter change request & works extension	Changes will not be applied to the PA. Original PA will remain unchanged in status and contents i.e. the PA is not refused as a result of a change request assessment.
Grant with duration challenge	Works extension for works that are in progress	A reasonable period end date and reason for the duration challenge must be provided. The reasonable period end date and reason will be applied and visible on the PA.

(Previously section 5.1, 5.4, 5.5 & 25.3 in Business rules v0.1 draft)

4.5. Change request response period

• The response period for change requests is 2 working days. The change request will deem after this period and the changes will be applied to the PA.

(Previously section 5.7 in Business rules v0.1 draft)

4.6. Cancelling change requests

• It is currently not possible to cancel change requests directly
• Change requests pending assessment will be automatically cancelled if the parent permit is cancelled and/or closed

4.7. Change request statuses

5. Revoking a PA & PAA

• Both a PA & PAA may be revoked if they have been granted and for a PA, before works stop has been logged.
• If a PA is revoked
  • before works start has been logged, it will remain in the final status of ‘Revoked’ where no further actions can be performed on it by the promoter.
  • after works start has been logged, the promoter may request a change, log works stop and add reinstatements.
  • with a change request awaiting assessment, the change request will be revoked automatically.

(Previously section 6.1 in Business rules v0.1 draft)

---

6. Delivering and executing works

6.1. Logging works start

• To log a works start

6.2. Reverting works start

• Works start may be reverted if
  • works stop is not logged for the current PA
  • a reinstatement has not been logged for the current PA
  • for planned works (i.e. not immediate works)
  • the PA has not been revoked.

(Previously section 21.1 in Business rules v0.1 draft)

6.3. Logging works stop

• To log a works stop
  • works must be in ‘in progress’ status,

(Previously section 21.2 in Business rules v0.1 draft)

6.5. Validity periods

• Only applicable for works on non-traffic sensitive category 3 or 4 roads.
  • Non-traffic sensitivity is determined either by there being no traffic-sensitive designations for the works’ USRN or if there are, none were selected by the promoter as applicable to the works.
• If a works’ actual start date is later than the proposed start date and within validity period, Street Manager will shift the proposed end date accordingly maintaining the same works duration as originally proposed starting from the actual start date.
• Below are the validity periods for each works category. Please be aware that the validity period is inclusive of the original start date unless the start date is on a non-working day, in which case it’s the next working day. E.g. for a minor works if the start date was a Wednesday the validity period would be Wednesday and Thursday.

Works category	Validity period
Major PAA	Currently out of scope
Major PA	5 working days
Standard	5 working days
Minor	2 working days
Immediate	Not applicable
Any HS2 works	Not applicable

(Previously section 13 in Business rules v0.1 draft)

  • The number of units may be changed to 0 (zero) if all sites have been subsumed/combined.

6.7. Updating excavation answer after works completed

• ‘Was an excavation carried out’ field displayed at the work record level under the ‘Onsite details’ section
• The answer will default from the permit application and user will only able to change the answer from “Yes” to “No”
• If an excavation reinstatement has been added the field will automatically change to “Yes
• Answer can be updated from when the work has been started up to the point a new permit has been added to the work record . Exception is when an excavation reinstatement has been added. In this case, user will be unable to change the answer from “Yes” to “No” as there are excavations against that work
