T2: Improving the Distribution and Delivery of Goods to Local Businesses
Development proposals will be supported which include measures designed to rationalise the delivery of goods in the area, including individual parcels to private addresses. We support the provision of distribution hubs whereby deliveries can be amalgamated and sent to companies in single loads using electric vehicles. In particular developments will be encouraged which:
- Reduce traffic flows and congestion through the area and which limit pressures on on-street parking;
- Support the provision of distribution hubs for goods particularly for users located on Oxford Street and other main highways without rear servicing;
- Support the increased provision of electric charge points;
- Support sustainable means of goods distribution including use of electric vehicles, cargo bicycles and walking.
