TfL Ref: 2506-1819

Thank you for your letter received by Transport for London (TfL) on 19 November 2018 asking for information about a piece of street furniture situated on the north side of Tower Hill. Please accept my apologies for the considerable delay in responding.

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Environmental Information Regulations and our information access policy. I can confirm that we hold some of the information you require. You asked for:

The planning application for this structure as well as the resulting planning consents.

The structure in question is a ‘Post Joint Large (PJL) that holds the BT link to the traffic signals at Tower Hill /Trinity Square. I can advise that we do not require planning consent to place traffic signals and associated equipment on the street under our powers as the Highway and Traffic Authority. However, this structure is being relocated as a matter of urgency within the forthcoming weeks.

I also request the Health and Safety Risk Assessments for this structure; stages one, two and three.

We do not hold this information.

If this is not the information you are looking for, or if you are unable to access it for any reason, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal as well as information on copyright and what to do if you would like to re-use any of the information we have disclosed.

Yours sincerely
