DM8.6 Delivery and servicing for new developments
A) Provision for delivery and servicing should be provided off-street, particularly for commercial developments over 200m2 gross floor area. In order to ensure proposed delivery and servicing arrangements are acceptable:
- It must be demonstrated that servicing and delivery vehicles can enter and exit the site in forward gear.
- Details shall be submitted to establish the delivery and servicing needs of developments.
- Delivery and servicing bays are required to be strictly controlled, clearly signed and only used for the specific agreed purpose.
B) Where on-street servicing is proposed details must be submitted to demonstrate the need for on-street provision and that off-street provision is not practical, and to show that arrangements will be safe and will not cause a traffic obstruction or nuisance. Traffic modelling may be required.
C) For major developments, details of refuse and recycling collection must be submitted, indicating locations for collection vehicles to wait and locations of refuse and recycling bin stores. Applications for larger residential developments must demonstrate that delivery and servicing would not impact negatively on refuse collection arrangements.
D) It must be demonstrated that worst case scenarios have been assessed and their impacts mitigated, in terms of delivery and servicing. It may be required to demonstrate such scenarios in TRAVL (Trip Rate Assessment Valid for London).
