A Construction Logistics Plan focuses on reducing the number and impact of construction vehicle trips, especially on busy urban streets. Transport for London’s Construction Logistics Planning guidance sets the format, with an outline CLP at planning stage and a detailed CLP before work starts.
- Outline CLP for the planning application
- Detailed CLP for discharge
- Vehicle trip estimates by phase
- Consolidation, timing and booking measures
- Safety standards for vehicles and drivers
- Monitoring and reporting
Straightforward, proportionate, agreed early.
