Construction Logistics Planning (CLP)

Construction Logistic Plans, CLP, are now a requirement of all planning applications in the Greater London Authority area and this will be extended to all planning authorities. PDSI can provide CLPs at every stage, from pre-planning through planning to construction and in use, that suits your needs and requirements.

The Construction Logistics Planning (CLP), has been developed to reduce the volume and impact of construction road freight and the associated issues of safety, congestion and air quality, will provide planning authorities with all the details of expected logistics activities during the construction project and signifies the commitment of developers at the planning stage, and through their subsequent development.

Purpose & benefits of a CLP:

To consider the logistical impacts of proposed developments
Reduce environmental impact, road risk and congestion
Raise safety standards and enhanced site efficiency
Promote more cost-effective construction logistics activity
Provide scope for the use of more sustainable modes of transport
Use for evidence in meeting planning requirements

This industry-led accreditation has provided our group with the expertise to allow us to deliver both Outline and Detailed CLP’s for planning, construction stages and complex construction routing strategies, enabling us to provide a first-class professional service.

We support Clients, contractors, materials suppliers, waste contractors with vehicle and logistics planning and management to achieve ‘best in class’ reduction in vehicle movements, enhanced site efficiency, improved profits and compliance with increasing legislation required through their planning applications.
