Site Traffic Management Plan The site sits at the junction of the busy crossroads junction where Crescent Lane/Julian Road, Weston Road, Marlborough Buildings & Cavendish meet, at the rear of the Royal Crescent.

42 Site Traffic Management Plan Site Traffic Management Plan Method Statement Project Overview The site is located at the junction of a busy crossroads where Crescent Lane/Julian Road, Weston Road, Marlborough Buildings & Cavendish Road meet at the rear of the Royal Crescent, within the City of Bath. 42

43 A Site Traffic Management Plan (STMP) will be developed to aid the control of pedestrians, vehicles and plant that are present on the site as well as consideration to traffic movements to and fro site, including site deliveries, removal of site waste, and other site wide traffic issues. Consideration should also be given to the existing traffic flow along Crescent Lane/Julian Road & Marlborough Buildings in particular, as well as pedestrian movements around the site boundaries. The STMP is a visual layout of the site that shows structures, roads, site storage, compound, pedestrian routes etc. where possible pedestrians and vehicles/plant need to be segregated. The STMP will need to be updated, if necessary, when the layout/logistics of the site changes. The STMP Drawing will be displayed prominently on the site office & canteen displayed boards. The SMTP will change during phases of the project due to the logistics of the site. Site Traffic Management Plan Method Statement DEMOLTION PHASE During the DEMOLITION PHASE of the project the following have been considered and implemented. The Site Working Hours are restricted to between and hrs Monday to Friday and between and hrs on Saturdays and No Work on Sundays and Bank holidays. Work outside these hours will only be permitted with the prior consent of the Relevant Authorities. 43

44 Wherever reasonably practical the removal of any bulk material arising from the demolished structures should be outside the areas of peak traffic. These typically being to 09.30hrs and after 15.30hrs. All bulk materials arising from the demolished will be loaded on the site only. Wherever reasonably practical the delivery of any Plant & Equipment to assist in the demolition should be outside the areas of peak traffic flow. Wherever reasonably practical plant & equipment should be off loaded within the site boundary Whenever reasonably practical the speed of all construction traffic will be restricted to a maximum of 5 mph on approach to and from site and on site. All construction vehicles to park within the site boundaries. No parking is permitted on the yellow lined areas abounding the site. No parking outside on the highway or footway will be permitted Where practicably possible organised parking will be provided for employees and visitors vehicles to avoid congestion and inconvenience to local residents and other road users, however it should be noted that we cannot prevent any Contractor who legally parks in a designated non residents parking area. Please note that a meeting has already taken place between B&NES Highways and Ashford Homes (S.W.) Ltd at site on , to discuss the implications of demolishing the existing buildings and subsequent construction of the new apartments on the surrounding road traffic situation. Following the meeting it was agreed that there would be no additional traffic restrictions required during the Demolition Phase providing that all materials arising from demolition would be loaded within the site boundaries. There will be a requirement to put into place a Traffic Regulation Order to make Marlborough Buildings one-way during construction activities, due in part because there will be a requirement to erect scaffold on the footway to construct the new apartments. Details will be confirmed following a further meeting with Highways and submitted with the Construction Management Plan prior to commencing construction works.
