Paragraph 16 Port traffic management planI1

No part of the authorised development below MLWS (excluding ducting and related works which are an integral part of works landward of MLWS) is to commence until a traffic management plan for the onshore port-related traffic to and from the selected base port or ports for construction, operation or both of the relevant part of the authorised development, and relating to the relevant part of the authorised development, has been submitted to and approved in writing by the relevant planning authority in consultation with the relevant highway authority, or the relevant planning authority has confirmed in writing, after consultation with the relevant highway authority, that no traffic management plan is required.

• “selected base port” or “ports” means a port or ports situated in England or Wales and used by management personnel for construction of the authorised project or for the ongoing operational management of the authorised project.
