DH4 Clean and considerate construction

The Plan seeks to reduce the negative impact of construction activities on neighbours and the environment through the following policies:

  1. Construction methods that facilitate efficient and timely completion are encouraged, such as off-site fabrication, modular construction or other methods that help expedite the construction method.
  2. Construction sites should minimise disruption to neighbouring properties, ensuring that noise, vibration, light pollution and working hours are kept within acceptable limits.
  3. Developers must include in any Construction Management Plan (CMP):
    • a noise management plan; and
    • provisions for employing vehicles of no more than 7.5 tonnes unladen weight (see Policy TT1 (4)).
  4. Developer and contractors must engage with the local community and stakeholders throughout the construction process, providing regular updates and responding to concerns promptly.
  5. Sites where development is reasonably expected to last for more than three months shall be registered with the Considerate Constructors Scheme, and registration details displayed on the site before work starts. This requirement shall be a pre-commencement planning condition.
  6. Sites where development is unfinished three months after the start of work are encouraged to be registered with the Considerate Constructors Scheme, and registration details displayed on the site.
  7. At the end of the working day, all rubbish must be cleared from the highway, leaving it in a clean and tidy condition.
