Delivery and Servicing Management Plans
Delivery and Servicing Management Plans (DSMPs)
At Transport & Traffic Consultancy, we specialize in preparing Delivery and Servicing Management Plans (DSMPs) to ensure efficient, safe, and sustainable delivery and servicing operations for new and existing developments. Our plans help developers, businesses, and property managers minimize congestion, improve safety, and comply with local authority requirements.
What is a Delivery and Servicing Management Plan (DSMP)?
A DSMP is a structured plan that outlines how deliveries, collections, and servicing activities (such as waste collection and maintenance visits) will be managed to minimize their impact on the surrounding area. Local Planning Authorities often require DSMPs as part of planning conditions for new developments or significant refurbishments, particularly in urban areas where space is limited and traffic congestion is a concern.
Why is a DSMP Important?
A well-prepared Delivery and Servicing Management Plan provides several key benefits:
Reduces congestion by optimizing delivery times and vehicle movements
Minimizes traffic disruption to roads and local transport networks
Improves safety for pedestrians and cyclists by managing loading and unloading areas
Promotes sustainability by encouraging the use of low-emission vehicles and consolidated deliveries
Ensures compliance with local planning policies and transport regulations
What Does a DSMP Include?
Each Delivery and Servicing Management Plan is tailored to the specific requirements of a site and typically includes:
• Assessment of delivery and servicing needs based on-site operations
• Designated loading/unloading areas to prevent on-street obstructions
• Vehicle routing strategies to minimize congestion and improve efficiency
• Time restrictions for deliveries to reduce peak-hour traffic impacts
• Sustainable transport initiatives, such as cargo bikes or electric vehicle use
• Ongoing monitoring and review processes to ensure continued compliance
