Question 6: Policy MW3 'Transport'
Representation ID: 93066
Received: 14/08/2018
Respondent: West Suffolk Councils (Forest Heath District and St Edmundsbury Borough Councils)
In addition to Transport Statements and Transport Assessments, planning applications for new minerals development or waste management facilities, or proposals that generate an increase in traffic movements or traffic impact, may in some circumstances need to be accompanied by a Delivery and Servicing Plan (DSP) or Construction and Logistics Plan (CLP) to manage the movement of goods
The HGV movements can be monitored through a DSP or CLP, so that remedial measures can be introduced should the highways impacts become unacceptable.
In the same way that a Travel Plan provides a framework for 'measures to reduce car travel to the site by workers and visitors and encourages walking, cycling and use of public transport', a DSP or CLP can provide a framework to manage and monitor the impacts of HGVs on local highways.
Thank you for consulting us on your Minerals and Waste Local Plan - we have one thought on Policy MW3 Transport, which is outlined below.
