BA3: Local Requirements for Construction Management Plans (CMP)

Proposals for basement development should be accompanied by a Construction Management Plan which includes adequate information to assess the impact of the construction phase, should the proposal be approved. The CMP should include information on how:

  1. The disturbance arising from construction and demolition such as noise, vibration and dust will be kept to acceptable levels, under the relevant acts and guidance, for the duration of the works, taking the cumulative impacts of other development proposals into account.
  2. Traffic and construction activity will be managed to protect the residential amenity of adjoining occupiers and the safety of pedestrians, cyclists and other road users, including details of the routing of demolition, excavation and construction vehicles, details of access, including deliveries, storage, location of nearby trees, footways and carriageways. Details of site operation hours (see 5.24 below).
  3. Consideration of how the construction and demolition might impact the elderly and disabled.

See TT1 for further information on CMPs and in Camden Planning Guidance 6.

TfL’s latest guidance on CMPs may be useful, with its spreadsheet tool for estimating the likely frequency of vehicle trips at various stages in a construction programme.
