Construction Traffic Management Plans (CTMP)
Traffic management strategies supporting safe
construction vehicle movement and planning compliance.
What Is a Construction Traffic Management Plan?
A Construction Traffic Management Plan (CTMP) sets out how construction vehicle movements will be managed to minimise impact on the local road network, pedestrians, and surrounding communities. It typically provides more detailed routing and traffic control measures than a standard CLP, and is often required for schemes generating significant vehicle movements or located on constrained sites.
- Construction vehicle routes
- Delivery and collection arrangements
- Site access and exit points
- Pollution Prevention
- Traffic control measures
- Vehicle waiting and loading arrangements
- Pedestrian and cyclist safety
- Coordination with local highways authorities
When Are CTMPs Required?
Planning authorities require a Construction Traffic Management Plan where construction traffic may significantly impact the surrounding road network.
"No development shall commence until a Construction Traffic Management Plan has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority."
These requirements commonly apply to developments located within urban areas or on constrained sites.
What a CTMP Typically Includes
- Construction vehicle routing strategies
- Delivery management procedures
- Site access and exit arrangements
- Traffic control measures
- Pedestrian and cyclist safety measures
- Coordination with local highways authorities
These measures help ensure construction vehicles operate safely while minimising disruption to surrounding communities.
Our CTMP Preparation Process
Project
Review
We review your development and site access, identifying the traffic management requirements for your project.
Traffic
Strategy
Development
We develop routing plans and, where required, assess detour and swept-path scenarios for construction vehicles.
Preparation
of
Documentation
We prepare scaled documentation detailing traffic control measures and site access arrangements to the standard required by your Local Planning Authority.
