DES8: Construction management
The Council will expect all developments to be managed in a safe and considerate manner, in addition to the following requirements:
- Through the use of conditions, the Council may require Construction Management Statements to be agreed and implemented on a case by case basis. These may be required for:
- Minor and major developments creating new homes and/or commercial space.
- Other forms of development, particularly where the site is constrained or where it is identified that there is a specific risk to highway safety and/or the amenity of neighbouring properties.
- The Construction Management Statement must address how any development impacts will be managed. The statement should be appropriate to the scale and context of the development but should include:
- Prediction of potential impacts with regard to water, waste, noise and vibration, dust, emissions and odours, ground contamination and soil pollution, wildlife and features and heritage/archaeology. Where potential impacts are identified, mitigation measures should be identified to address these impacts.
- Measures to manage traffic and parking impact, highway/pedestrian safety and congestion.
- Information about phasing and co-ordination of works, including timing of deliveries, particularly where there are multiple developments in a single area.
- Information about measures that will be used to protect any on/off-site features, including trees, verges, drains, kerb stones, and footways, that may be damaged due to works and remediation of any subsequent damage.
- Information about the measures that will be used to protect privacy and the amenity of surrounding sensitive uses; including provision of appropriate boundary protection.
- Means of communication and liaison with neighbouring residents and businesses.
- Hours of work.
- Any advertisements and signage proposed to be displayed for the duration of construction works – including as part of site hoardings – must be appropriately designed in accordance with DES10. Conditions will be used to secure removal of any temporary advertisements.
