Unique text
Construction Traffic Management Plan - required revisions Q7 - Consultation deatials and responses should be appended to the final stage CTMP required by condition 3, as the original planning statement would be superseded by the final discharge of condition stage. Q8/12 - Swept path analysis should be provided showing vehicles accessing and exiting the site from Bayswater Road . This should include the largest proposed vehicles, including those required for one off deliveries. The entrance to Orme Square Gate is very narrow and it may not be possible for the proposed vehicles to access the site without modifications to the entrance. This is required to ensure that vehicles can access and exit Orme Square Gate without unduly impacting the operation of Bayswater Road. Q11 - A more detailed site plan must be included showing vehicles in the proposed loading/ unloading position. Q20 - The answer to this question suggests that the intention is for more than one vehicle to be on site at any one time. A more detailed site plan must demonstrate that there is capacity on site for more than one vehicle to ensure no vehicles are required to wait on the highway or at any point on Jubilee Walk.
