HVSAPS processing time
HVSAPS will receive your Access Assessment application immediately upon successful submission.
HVSAPS will automatically identify all structures on the requested Single Route or Network and will provide an Access Assessment report detailing the bridge restrictions and/or conditions for a Single Route assessment or the networks and associated mass restrictions for a Network assessment.
The HVSAPS Access Assessment report should be available within 2 to 4 hours if all bridges on the route have been pre-assessed. If manual intervention is needed (e.g. for a bridge not yet pre-assessed), your report may take a day or more to process depending on the volume of HVSAPS Access Assessment applications requiring manual intervention.
HVSAPS Access Assessment response email
Once HVSAPS has processed the Access Assessment application and provided a response you will receive an email notifying you that the response is available for review.
HVSAPS Access Assessment response
Once HVSAPS has processed an Access Assessment application it may return one of two outcomes:
Completed - HVSAPS has processed the Access Assessment application and found that the application may progress to a permit application albeit with conditions or restrictions. HVSAPS has generated an Access Assessment report detailing the bridge restrictions and/or conditions for a Single Route assessment or the networks and associated mass restrictions for a Network assessment.
Application Refused - HVSAPS has processed the Access Assessment application and found that the application may not progress to a permit application due to bridges which cannot be accessed with conditions or restrictions.
Creating a PBS permit application
If the HVSAPS Access Assessment response outcome is Completed a new PBS permit application can be created from the Access Assessment.
HVSAPS response 2 week validity period
If the outcome is Completed the HVSAPS Access Assessment response is valid for 2 weeks. A PBS permit application must be created within 2 weeks of receiving the HVSAPS response. After 2 weeks the HVSAPS Access Assessment application will be marked as 'Expired'.
