4 Construction Traffic & Access Site4.1 Construction Routes & AccessDue to the positioning of the Siteand restricted access, constructiontraffic routes will be agreed withSouthwark Council, TfL and other necessary authorities for the workss alongside consultationwith localresidents. Construction vehicle movementswould be restricted to the main arterial routes wherepossible.The construction traffic routes that will facilitate the delivery of goods and material to and from theProposed Development site would be agreedd with LBS and other relevant authorities (e.g. TfL) prior toconstruction activitycommencing.The construction route at present has been divided into two separate routes. It iss envisaged that all‘long’ HGV vehicles (articulated) would use a ‘lay‐by’ type approach on o Elephant and Castle Road (A3)therefore not causing disruption to the local network to the west of the t proposedd development.All vehicles will turn within the Site in order to minimise disruption too other roadd users. A plan showingthe designated construction route is illustrated in the Travel PlanAssuming that the construction programmecommences in mid 2013, it is estimated that there would bea peak inHGV trips coinciding with the busiest periods of construction during thee summer off 2013.On the basis of 5½ working days per week and a 10‐hourworking day, five to eight hourly HGVconstruction trips may be expected within the peak period. It should be noted that these peakconstruction periodsare not typical of the majority of the construction programme. Therefore, for muchof the construction programme the t number of vehicles would be approximatelyhalf that in the t peakperiods.Movements of large or abnormal loads would be addressed in advance with the relevant highwayauthorities and the Police in order to ensure compliance with regulations and advance notification forlocal residents. Whilst no permanent or long‐term road closures outside of the Site are envisaged,should this situation change consent would be obtained from Southwark Councill or TfL (as appropriate).Furthermore, prior notices regarding plannedd closures and diversions of roads would be given to theMetropolitan Police,the London Fire and Emergency Planning Authority (LFEPA) and other emergencyservices.The Site is located close to the Elephant and Castle rail and underground stationss and a number ofLondon bus services. Given this proximity to public transport services, it is envisaged that themajority ofconstruction personnel would travel to Site by public transport.Provisionwould be made, wherever possible, to ensure that the unloading of vehicles can becarried outon‐Site rather than on the adjacent roads.In addition, the passage of vehicular traffic too and from the Site would adhere to the environmentalprocedures contained within theEnvironmental Management Plans and applicable to all contractorsinvolvedin the Development.Deliveries to site will be managed by a strict delivery booking system, compulsoryfor all sub‐‐of the Leisurecontractors.
