Transport for the South East | Lorry Parking Study & Warehousing Provision Study
TfSE recently published their Lorry Parking Study and Warehousing Provision Study, and we are pleased to share these with users of the CoE.
These three resources;
Outline the state of HGV parking in the region
Assess current and anticipated demand for logistics within the region
Provide context and evidence for the studies
TfSE commissioned a more detailed study, using a similar methodology to the DfT survey, but extended it to include the MRN and other A roads, including hearing from lorry drivers about their experiences at recognised truck stops across the area.
This study provides clear evidence that there is a shortage of lorry parking in our area that will worsen over the next 20 years, particularly around the port areas of Dover and Southampton.
NB: There is data available for this study, should you wish to view it, please contact tfse@eastsussex.gov.uk and we will review your request.
This study provides greater insight into the impact of current trends in logistics land and property provision along with some forecasting of likely future demand in our area. It is based on market intelligence to help identify any gaps in provision including where local planning authorities need to consider allocating suitable land for logistics-related uses in their spatial plans.
