What Is a Construction Logistics Plan?

A Construction Logistics Plan (CLP) is required by planning authorities as a condition of approval, to ensure construction activity minimises impact on traffic, pedestrians, and local roads. It sets out how construction traffic, deliveries, vehicle routing, and site access will be managed and coordinated to ensure vehicles use safe, approved routes.

When Are CLPs Required?

CLPs are typically required at an early stage, before development can commence, to discharge a planning condition aimed at reducing the impact of construction traffic while safeguarding surrounding areas.

"No development shall commence until a Construction Logistics Plan has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority."

A CLP Typically Addresses

  • Construction vehicle routing
  • Delivery management
  • Site access arrangements
  • Pedestrian and cyclist safety
  • Traffic management measures
  • Environmental mitigation measures

Our CLP Preparation Process

Step 1
Project
Review

We assess your site, access constraints, and planning conditions to establish the CLP's scope.

Step 2
Logistics
Strategy

We develop a construction logistics strategy covering vehicle routing, delivery scheduling, and mitigation measures suited to your site.

Step 3
Swept Path
Analysis

(where required)

Where access is constrained, we assess vehicle routing and staging to confirm safe manoeuvring.

Step 4
Preparation
of CLP

Documentation

We prepare the full CLP document to the standard required by your Local Planning Authority.
