Please provide the Council’s street lighting asset inventory: the register of lighting columns and other lighting units for which Devon County Council (DCC) is the highway authority.
Please supply the current inventory as a data export containing, for each lighting unit, whichever of these three things the council holds:
1. The location, as easting and northing or as latitude and longitude.
a. Please state which and state the coordinate system used (for example OSGB36 / EPSG:27700, or WGS84 / EPSG:4326).
2. The asset type or unit type. I ask for this only so that lighting columns can be told apart from illuminated bollards, illuminated signs, beacons and feeder pillars, which are commonly held in the same register.
3. The switching or control regime for each unit:
i. whether it burns all night, is part-night, or is dimmed, and
ii. where the council holds them
– the actual switch-off and switch-on times.
Please see this DCC spreadsheet for the responses to questions 1, 2 and 3.
Broadly speaking main roads in Devon are on all night and the residential roads operate part night light (PNL), with potential dimming at various times depending on City, Market Town or Rural location.
