Conclusions and Recommendations Page 10 APPENDICES 1. Details of Lorry Parks and MSAs 2. Parking Survey Results 3. Collin Buchanan Email 2 OVERNIGHT HGV PARKING IN THURROCK 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 The purpose of this report is to collate all available information on existing overnight HGV parking in Thurrock and future demands. This report will also provide an evidence base for use in the preparation of Local Development Framework (LDF) documents. 2.0 BACKGROUND 2.1 Thurrock has a significant level of roadside overnight parking due to: • Thurrock’s location in relation to the main crossings to Europe. HGV drivers leaving the ferry ports in Kent and heading to the Midlands or the North of England may have taken their 45 minute rest on the ferry, used probably up to an hour driving off the ferry, through customs and out of the port. The Dartford Crossing is then some 2-2.5 hours driving time from the ports. Delays at the Crossing may mean that the drivers are forced to take another break or an overnight stop around the area of the Crossing. Inevitably, therefore, drivers mat be looking to stop in and around Thurrock. • The high number of industrial and port-related businesses in the borough. There is a concentration of depots and industrial sites in the borough. Many HGV drivers plan to be as close to their destinations the night before to ensure they are at the front of the queue to deliver or pick up their loads the following morning.
