Consultation On Planning Needs of Freight and Logistics

The Department for Transport (DfT) and Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) call for evidence seeks views so that the planning needs of the freight and logistics sector can be properly and effectively considered.

The consultation seeks to understand what works well for planning freight and logistics, what does not work well and if there are improvements to be made.

 

In particular, the consultation seeks evidence in 3 areas:

• local plan making and land availability
• planning decision taking and the applications process
• how the planning system can support specific policy priorities, including:
• supporting supply chains
• decarbonisation of freight
• heavy goods vehicle (HGVs) driver parking facilities and welfare
• strengthening the Union

This consultation applies to England only. If you would like to contribute to the BRC response please send details to me, Nicki Hunt by 29th September 2023.
