Policy EC.7

Employment and Road Freight

On page 220 of the official PDF.

The human version (we wrote this, not the council)

This policy requires new employment development to improve sustainable transport access to the site, allowing access for all users including pedestrians and cyclists where possible. It asks developments to reduce the carbon impact of freight and work-related vehicle movements. Using electric vehicles for freight, including last-mile deliveries, and building the infrastructure to support them will be supported.

Tips for a response that counts

One focused page beats ten rambling ones. Read the full guide to consultations

  1. Submit a formal representation. This is the only response that must be considered at the plan’s independent examination. The emails below are worth sending too, but they do not count as representations. Open the official response portal

    In the portal, open the chapter or policy you want to comment on and press Comment on that item. There is no single box for the whole plan, and you will need to create an account first.

    Write your comments before you open the portal: a notes app, an email draft or paper all work. Paste each one in and keep a copy. Ticking policies as you read builds the draft for you on the My response page.

  2. Email your ward councillors. They voted on this plan and represent you. The draft raises the consultation window and the missing costs.
