The intention of the development is to open up part of The Charterhouse to the public, providing a new museum and learning facilities and the redesign of Charterhouse Square. The consent includes a Planning Condition (Planning Condition 5) as detailed on The Charterhouse (TCH) Revealing the Charterhouse – Planning Permission and Conditions Tracker (April 2015). Planning Condition 5 states: Condition 5 – A Delivery and Servicing Management Plan for all properties and uses reliant on Charterhouse Square for deliveries and servicing shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority prior to commencement of the development hereby approved. The DSMP shall include details of all servicing and delivery requirements, including details of how waste (including recyclable waste) would be transferred and collected, and shall confirm the timings of all deliveries and collections from service vehicles. The development shall be carried out strictly carried out strictly in accordance with the DSMP so approved. 1.2 Site Location and Proposed Development 1.2.1 Charterhouse Square is a historic square in Smithfield, central London. It is based around The Charterhouse –officially known as Sutton’s Hospital in Charterhouse- which is a Grade I listed building in the northern edge of the square. The Square lies between Charterhouse Street and Clerkenwell Road. The central square is a park surrounded on all sides by Charterhouse Square which provides access to all buildings fronting the square. 1.2.2 The site lies within the Charterhouse Square Conservation Area in the extreme south of the London Borough of Islington, just north of the City of London. The borough boundary between Islington and the City runs along Charterhouse Street and Carthusian Street. A site location plan is shown in Figure 1. 1.2.3 Existing vehicle access to the square is through a gated entrance on Charterhouse Square in the south eastern corner of the site. This entrance provides access to the parking along the square and Rutland Place in the north eastern corner of the square. Currently vehicles can egress the site through a gate on Charterhouse Street in the western corner of the square whilst the construction works at 23- Rev 01 | Copyright © 2016 Curtins Consulting Ltd Page 1 TPLO62103 Charterhouse Square Delivery and Servicing Management Plan 28 Charterhouse Square are being completed. Charterhouse Square is currently subject to one-way traffic flow counter-clockwise around the Square. 1.2.4 All of the Square is private property and not adopted highway. 1.2.5 When the consented development is complete the northern part of the Square, between the existing entrance to the Charterhouse and approximately 15metres west of Rutland Place, will be pedestrianised. Vehicles will be able to enter and leave via the gates in the south east and south west corners of the Square and two-way traffic flow will be permitted. It will be possible for vehicles up to the size of a midi-coach (9metres long) to use the south-western gate to access the site and u-turn within
