Elmswell, Suffolk

The outline planning permission secured a two phase development, with the first phase comprising the remediation of contaminated land on the site and the second phase the residential development. The only available construction access is through the recently completed Taylor Wimpey development and as such a key consideration for Councillors at Planning Committee was the mitigation of construction impacts on residential amenity. ARP successfully navigated this issue through the preparation and submission of a detailed Construction Management Plan (CMP). The CMP was submitted under a separate planning condition to run alongside the reserved matters application allowing members to approve the reserved matters with confidence that a detailed plan for construction was already in place.
