Planning-led construction logistics strategies that support condition discharge and practical site delivery.
Our Construction Logistics Plans are prepared with a clear understanding of how logistics-related planning conditions are reviewed, discharged and enforced, alongside the operational realities of constrained construction sites.
We are CLOCS-accredited to produce Construction Logistics Plans, with our logistics strategies developed in line with CLOCS principles to support safer vehicle movements, effective routing and responsible construction logistics.
We focus on proportionate, site-specific logistics strategies that manage highways impact, neighbour sensitivity and construction sequencing without introducing unnecessary operational burden or cost.
From early feasibility through to condition discharge and live site support, CLPs are developed to reflect how schemes are actually built, not how they appear on paper.
For project specific advice
CLPs are prepared to align with local authority highways requirements, environmental controls and construction methodologies, ensuring submissions are acceptable to regulators and workable for contractors.
Logistics strategies are scoped to reflect the scale, access constraints and phasing of the development, whether supporting pre-purchase appraisal, planning submission or construction delivery.
Experience supporting logistics-related condition discharge informs our understanding of how different authorities assess routing, delivery management, traffic impact and construction servicing arrangements.
By addressing access, logistics, environmental controls, and neighbour impact early, we eliminate pushback that slows approval.
A Construction Logistics Plan sets out how construction-related vehicle movements, deliveries, access and on-site logistics will be managed in order to satisfy planning and highways requirements and support safe, efficient site operations.
Where a CLP is required by a local planning authority, it provides a framework for controlling delivery scheduling, routing, access arrangements, contractor servicing, traffic management and the interface between construction activity and surrounding land uses.
A well-prepared CLP goes beyond basic access diagrams. It reduces the likelihood of highways objections, neighbour complaints and delivery conflict, and provides contractors with a clear, agreed approach to logistics management throughout construction.
We prepare CLPs that satisfy both: proportionate and robust enough for regulators, and practical and workable for site delivery.
The scope of a CLP is informed by planning conditions, site sensitivity and stage of development, but typically includes the following.
A Construction Logistics Plan influences a project well before submission and continues to play a role throughout construction delivery.
We support projects across the full development lifecycle.
Early review of access feasibility, servicing constraints and likely highways conditions to inform acquisition decisions, programme risk and potential cost exposure.
Preparation of CLPs and supporting information to address highways and logistics planning requirements, respond to technical consultation and support efficient condition discharge.
Logistics input to inform buildability, phasing, craneage, servicing layouts and contractor methodology, helping address constraints early and avoid later redesign or abortive measures.
Ongoing technical support to assist with implementation, responding to queries, delivery conflicts, authority requests and site changes as works progress.
Review of planning conditions, available drawings and site constraints to confirm scope, identify logistics risks and establish submission requirements.
Preparation of a project-specific CLP covering routing, access, deliveries, servicing and site logistics, with a first draft within 5 working days of instruction.
A review and refinement as required, and technical support to respond to comments and queries during the discharge process. Revisions included at no extra cost.
Continued technical input to support implementation on site and any further logistics or highways requirements arising during construction.
We provide the expertise to simplify complex challenges for faster approvals of tough planning requirements.
Still have any questions about CLPs or planning?
A CLP is typically required where a planning condition has been imposed relating to construction traffic, access, deliveries or site logistics, or where a development is likely to generate material construction vehicle movements, impact sensitive receptors or interface with constrained highways.
We routinely review planning decision notices and consultation responses to confirm whether a CLP is required and how it should be scoped to satisfy the local authority.
We issue a first draft within 5 working days of instruction.
This allows projects to progress to condition discharge quickly and provides contractors with early visibility of agreed logistics arrangements.
Revisions are included at no additional cost to address comments, technical queries or client feedback as part of the agreed scope.
Yes. Our CLPs are prepared to reflect how local planning and highways authorities assess logistics proposals in practice.
We routinely support responses to technical comments and queries arising during the discharge process and can assist in refining submissions to address authority feedback efficiently.
Our CLPs are developed with a clear understanding of both planning authority expectations and live construction delivery requirements.
They are proportionate, site-specific and written to be both regulator-facing and contractor-usable.
We are also CLOCS-accredited to prepare Construction Logistics Plans, meaning our logistics strategies are developed in line with CLOCS principles for safer vehicle movements and responsible construction logistics.
Yes. Our involvement does not end at document issue.
We continue to provide technical support to assist with condition discharge, respond to authority comments, and support implementation on site where logistics arrangements evolve during construction.
Many clients engage us as ongoing technical support rather than a one-off report provider.
Typically, we request:
Where information is limited, we can still commence work and help define requirements as the project develops.
No. A CLP focuses specifically on construction traffic, access and logistics management.
A CMP is broader and typically covers overall site management, welfare, security and operational controls.
We regularly prepare both documents together where required, ensuring they are coordinated and consistent.
We are instructed by developers, planning consultants, architects, main contractors and project managers on schemes ranging from small urban sites to large, phased developments.
