Appendix 1- List Of Definitions, References And Regulations
Definitions
Lighting Authority
Hampshire County Council, as Highway Authority, is automatically a Lighting Authority. District, Borough, Town and Parish Councils can also be Lighting Authorities as well as those Social Housing Groups - previously part of District or Borough Councils - with powers to provide lighting on the highway with the consent of the Highway Authority. For the purposes of this Policy they are each termed collectively as a `Local Lighting Authority'.
Illuminated Street Furniture
For the purpose of this Policy illuminated street furniture includes all subway lighting, illuminated signs and bollards as well as street lights. Therefore, for a large advance direction sign illuminated by a lighting unit, physically separate from the sign and its mounting, the sign would not be covered by the definition, only the lighting unit and its stub post would be included within the definition.
