OPERATIONAL STATEMENT
27. -The consent submission should contain an operational statement that details how the lighting installation or how each different lighting situation submitted will be operated. The purpose of this is to ensure that the developer and the lighting designer have considered operational regimes that can provide energy savings. For example in a retail development the operational statement would confirm that the access road lighting would be group switched from a photocell but that the car park areas will be switched off/dimmed from an hour after the retail centre closes to an hour before the retail centre opens. The lighting designer should consider the use of the car park areas when the retail centre is closed in terms of both retail centre security and public safety when determining which lighting units should be switched off/dimmed.
28. -The operational statement shall provide details of how the lighting will be maintained in terms of gaining access to each luminaire. The purpose of this part of the operational statement is to ensure that the lighting designer has fully considered the maintenance issues. For example a simple statement could be that all road and car park luminaries would be maintained from a tower wagon and that footpath columns would be hinged. The lighting operational statement shall indicate the proposed lighting maintenance regime required to address circumstances that are wasteful of energy.
