T6: Movement and Management of Freight
Where a development will result in the movement of freight as part of its operations, Central Bedfordshire Council will:
- Require evidence in the Transport Assessment that realistic alternatives to the movement of freight by road-based haulage are not possible or practical;
- Ensure that developments forecast to generate significant freight movements are located where they deliver the greatest benefit for, businesses, and the least negative impact on the environment and local communities for example within industrial areas close to the Designated Road Freight Network; and
- Require traffic management measure and developer contributions to mitigate impacts where necessary.
