construction breakdown and timeline is shown at Appendix 7.3 and shows that this equates
to between four and nine HGV arrivals per day.
Construction Worker / Vans / Light Good Vehicles Trip Generation
7.5.19 It is expected that the construction process will require a maximum of up to 219 light vehicle
movements per month (construction staff and light vehicle deliveries). Over the six month
period, there would be a maximum of 1,033 light vehicle arrivals, equating to 2,066 two-way
light vehicle movements, as set out at Appendix 7.3.
7.5.20 Based on a five day working week this equates to up to 10 arrivals per day during this period
(20 two-way light vehicle movements a day).
Total Construction Generated Vehicles
7.5.21 Table 7.6 shows the estimated daily vehicle movements generated in line with the
construction programme and based on a five day working week. It should be noted that some
construction activity may occur during Saturdays (see Chapter 4), however, assuming a 5
day construction period for each week is considered as providing a worst case scenario
assessment i.e. a greater number of movements per day will be assumed.
7.5.22 These have been calculated by taking the maximum number of vehicle movements during a
single month and calculating the average number of daily vehicle movements during this
period. Table 7.6 sets out the number of vehicle movements on an average day during the
busiest month of the construction process.

* Includes departing abnormal loads as a standard HGV
7.5.23 Over the entire construction period, it is expected that the daily HGV movements (excluding
abnormal loads) would be between eight and 18 two-way movements per working day. The
number of vehicle movements generated by construction workers and vans would be
between 12 and 20 two-way light vehicle movements per working day.
7.5.24 With consideration to all vehicles, the total number of vehicle movements would be between
22 and 38 two-way movements per working day.
