Construction Traffic Management Plan (CTMP)
It is expected that contractors are registered with the Considerate Constructors scheme and comply with the code of conduct in full, but particular reference is made to "respecting the community" this says:
Constructors should give utmost consideration to their impact on neighbours and the public
•Informing, respecting and showing courtesy to those affected by the work;
•Minimising the impact of deliveries, parking and work on the public highway;
•Contributing to and supporting the local community and economy; and
•Working to create a positive and enduring impression and promoting the Code.
The CTMP should clearly identify how the principal contractor will engage with the local community; this should be tailored to local circumstances. Contractors should also confirm how they will manage any local concerns and complaints and provide an agreed Service Level Agreement for responding to said issues.
Contractors should ensure that courtesy boards are provided, and information shared with the local community relating to the timing of operations and contact details for a site coordinator in the event of any difficulties.
This does not offer any relief to obligations under existing Legislation. |
| The effect of paragraph 13 of Schedule 7A to the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 is that planning permission granted for the development of land in England is deemed to have been granted subject to the condition “(the biodiversity gain condition”) that development may not begin unless:
