Due to the close proximity of the proposed works to Network Rail's land and the operational railway, Network Rail recommends that the applicant / developer engages with Network Rail's Asset Protection and Optimisation (ASPRO) team via  AssetProtectionWessex@networkrail.co.uk  prior to works commencing. This will allow our ASPRO team to review the details of the proposal to ensure that the works can be completed without any risk to the operational railway.

The applicant / developer may be required to enter into an Asset Protection Agreement to get the required resource and expertise onboard to enable approval of detailed works. More information can also be obtained from our website https://www.networkrail.co.uk/running-the-railway/looking-after-the-railway/asset-protection-and-optimisation/.

Where applicable, the applicant / developer must also follow the attached Asset Protection in formatives which are issued to all proposals within close proximity to the railway (compliance with the in formatives does not remove the need to engage with our ASPRO team).
