HGV parking has been referenced in the policy in relation to future parking. However, this does not address the current situation. SCC’s ‘Freight Strategy for the County of Staffordshire 2019’ discusses issues with a lack of HGV parking and SCC’s previous consultation response highlighted this. However, the Local Plan has not allocated any sites for HGV parking. The Freight Strategy highlights the need for new/extended facilities in the M6 – A449 and A5 – M6 Toll corridors which are both within South Staffordshire district. SCC consider that SSC should make provision within their Local Plan and look to allocate sites.
