Condition 14 - TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN 15th January 2020
This construction phase plan is prepared with relevance to condition 14 of the Approval for the scheme which states:
“No demolition or construction works shall commence on site until a traffic management plan has been agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority
The plan should address:
(i) Movements and control of muck away lorries (all loading and unloading shall be undertaken off the adopted highway)
(ii) Contractor parking, for both phases all such parking shall be within the curtilage of the site and not on the street.
(iii) Movements and control of all deliveries (all loading and unloading shall be undertaken off the adopted public highway.
(iv) Control of dust, mud and debris, in relationship to the functioning of the adopted public highway.
(Reason -In the interest of highway safety in accordance with policy DP/3 of the Local Development Framework)"
The principal areas on concern to be addressed are as follows;
- Contractor parking.
- Movement and control of deliveries.
- Control of dust, mud and debris
MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL.
- Construction works will be undertaken across 5.5 days per week comprising of weekdays, excluding Bank holidays and Saturday mornings when we deem necessary.
- No deliveries or removals will be made to or from the site between the hours of 7:30am and 9:30am and between 4:00pm and 18:15pm Monday to Friday to avoid peak time traffic hours. All deliveries on Saturdays will be between the hours of 8:00am and 1:00pm, no deliveries at all will take place on Sundays and Bank holidays.
- All deliveries or removals will be managed by a banksman when entering and leaving the site.
- All suppliers, contractors and sub-contractors will be made aware of these restrictions regarding delivering / removing from the site.
- As part of the first phase of the works the new access will be created into the site. The construction of the access will require Highways agreement and will be formed with the relevant visibility splays as required by the Planning Permission.
- During construction of the development, vehicles delivering/ removing goods will be accommodated on site. From this location, material will be lifted to the storage areas either by forklift or crane.
- Designated material storage areas will be formed which allow for the above described to be implemented.
- Consideration is to be given to load sizes and suitability of delivery vehicles suit [sic] when procuring materials. For example facing bricks will be delivered into merchant’s yards for call-off from the site to avoid artic deliveries.
- Material leaving the site is to be loaded onto covered wagons or skips.
- All vehicles are to be cleaned effectively before leaving the site.
- A mains water supply is to be available on site from the commencement of the works.
- Internal access routes, hardstandings and the highway which may become coated with dust from other operations and therefore become a secondary source of dust emissions are to be cleaned on a regular basis.
- A road sweeper will be commissioned at the reasonable request of the Local Highway Authority.
- Any damage caused to the public adoptable highway associated with the construction works shall be repaired in a timely manner at no cost to the Local Highway Authority.
CONTRACTOR PARKING.
- Facilities for the secure storage of workforce tools will be provided on site to encourage the use of public transport and cycling to work.
- Vehicle sharing will also be encouraged to the workforce.
- Should vehicle numbers dictate off-site parking could be utilised at one of our larger sites where on-site parking is possible and the workforce shuttled to the scheme.
- Parking spaces will be provided on site as per drawing P007.A during the periods of site setup, demolition and during the main construction phase.
- Upon striking of scaffold, the private driveways will be base coursed, which will then lead to the private driveways being used as parking for contractors’vehicles.
- The above points are aimed to prevent any contractor parking outside the boundaries of the site however as an extra measure, the vehicle registration numbers of any contractor that attends site shall be logged into a daily site diary so that a vehicle found to be causing an obstruction of the highway or any vehicular access can be readily identified and moved.
FENCING AND SECURITY
- The site will have a both pedestrian and vehicular gated access and these gates are to be set back at least 5m from the carriageway boundary of Pettitts Lane [sic - an error that was pointed out to the planners by a number of objectors] will be operated within the constraints of the working hours described within this plan.
PUBLICITY AND INFORMATION.
- Once this plan is agreed copies should be distributed to all contractors and sub-contractors and form part of the site induction for the project.
IN SUMMARY.
- The purpose of this plan is to outline the points of consideration when preparing for, planning and implementing the construction works and will therefore be used throughout the site access, groundworks and building phases.
- The plan shall be subject to on-going review and monitoring during the entire construction phase of the project.
- The key areas the plan covers are summarised as follows:
- Ingress / egress to the site
- Control of the works and working hours.
- Parking arrangements for workforce.
- The security of the site by fencing and gates.
- Publicity of the plan to the parties involved
We therefore conclude the stated measures are sufficient during the construction phase of the works to minimise impact on Pettitts Lane [sic - an error that was pointed out to the planners by a number of objectors] and control the potential impact of construction related traffic movements.
It is advised that this traffic management plan is reviewed throughout the duration of all the construction phases for this scheme.
