Paragraph 4 Sustainable transportI1
England, Wales and Scotland
The provisions of the framework travel plan or any variation of such plan agreed by the transport working group must be complied with at all times following the commencement of the authorised development unless otherwise agreed in writing by the relevant planning authority.
Prior to the occupation of each individual warehouse unit an occupier-specific travel plan is to be submitted to, and approved in writing by, the relevant planning authority. Each specific travel plan must be in accordance with the framework travel plan or any approved variation thereto pursuant to sub-paragraph (1) and must be complied with at all times following the occupation of the relevant warehouse unit to which it relates.
The public transport strategy must be implemented and complied with at all times.
Where in the framework travel plan or public transport strategy reference is made to employees in the context of sustainable transport measures then that reference must be construed as including all persons attending the authorised development as their usual place of work and is not to be confined solely to persons who are directly employed by an occupier of the authorised development.
The undertaker must use reasonable endeavours to maximise the use of Euro VI compliant HGV and public transport vehicles in respect of—
any HGV fleets operated by occupiers of the warehouses which visit the warehouses; and
any public transport service provided pursuant to the public transport strategy and dedicated to serving the authorised development.
Prior to the commencement of the construction of any warehousing, the undertaker must establish the sustainable transport working group to discharge the role of that group in relation to the provisions of the framework travel plan and public transport strategy in accordance with the provisions of Schedule 15 (membership, role and protocol of the sustainable transport working group).
The membership, role and protocol of the sustainable transport working group will be as set out in Schedule 15 and the group will be administered by the undertaker, and operated, in accordance with the provisions of Schedule 15.
The sustainable transport working group is to continue its duties until the expiry of five years from full occupation of the authorised development unless otherwise agreed with the relevant planning authorities.
Prior to the occupation of any warehouse, the HGV monitoring scheme (including the HGV monitoring system) must be approved in writing by the local highway authority. The monitoring system must be installed in accordance with the approved HGV monitoring scheme and must be operative prior to the occupation of any warehouse. Thereafter the HGV monitoring system must be kept in operation and in good working order at all times and any deficiencies in the operation of the system must be remedied as expeditiously as possible.
