Report of the Director of the Built Environment

The Committee received a report of the Director of the Built Environment presenting further revisions to the Freight and Servicing Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) following member comments at the Planning and Transportation Committee on 9 January 2018.

Members noted that references to river servicing had now been including, and the wording in relation to ‘out of hours loading’ had now been strengthened to ensure overnight deliveries in all parts of the City were subject to quiet delivery agreements to minimise impact on residential amenity.

A Member advised that he had asked for some additional wording in relation to a DSP for a building in or immediately adjacent to a residential area unlikely to be approved if it relied upon night time or weekend delivery and servicing which had not been included.

The Chairman suggested that approval be granted subject to approval of the final wording by the Deputy Chairman and himself and this was agreed.

RESOLVED – That subject to approval of the final wording by the Chairman and Deputy Chairman, the amendments to the draft SPD be approved and the document be adopted.
