Professional management of engineering works The construction works shall be supervised throughout their duration by Michael Coombs (BSc MSc DIC FIStructE MCONSE) of Alan Baxter & Associates LLP. In the event that the appointed engineer ceases to perform that role for whatever reason before the construction works are completed those works will cease until a replacement Chartered Civil Engineer (MICE) or Chartered Structural Engineer (MI Struct.E) has been appointed to supervise their completion and their appointment confirmed in writing to the Local Planning Authority. At no time shall any construction work take place unless an engineer is at that time currently appointed and their appointment has been notified to this Authority in accordance with this condition.
