CR7 Servicing
The Council will require servicing facilities and coach parking to be well designed, built to accommodate the demands of new development and sensitively integrated into the development and the surrounding townscape. In particular servicing activities and coach pick-up and drop-off should not give rise to traffic congestion, conflict with pedestrians or be detrimental to residential amenity.
To deliver this the Council will:
- require sufficient on-site servicing space and coach parking to accommodate the number and type of vehicles likely to be generated and to ensure that this can take place without manoeuvring on the highway;
- require a Servicing Management Plan for all sites with on-site servicing space that will control the hours of servicing, including detail on how vehicles will be managed, and controls on the types and sizes of vehicles to ensure they are appropriate to the local area and are environmentally acceptable;
- require coach drop-off and pick-up facilities and a Coach Management Plan at new hotel developments and at extensions to existing hotels;
- require, where developments cannot provide onsite servicing space or coach parking, that it is demonstrated that the proposal can function satisfactorily without giving rise to adverse effects on traffic congestion, pedestrian safety, residential amenity or impact on bus routes.
A Servicing Management Plan and/or Coach Management Plan will be required in these instances;
- require on-site servicing and coach parking spaces and entrances to be sensitive to the character and appearance of the building and wider townscape and streetscape.
