DES8: Construction management

The Council will expect all developments to be managed in a safe and considerate manner, in addition to the following requirements:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
