Consultation description

We are seeking views on a proposed:

  • general approval for freight facility access, replacing the approval in the Freight Facility (Ports and Terminals) General Approval 2011
  • guidance for facility access.

The general approval suggestions:

  • expand its scope from ports and terminals to all freight facilities which are not light or heavy maintenance depots
  • allows for contracts of up to 10 years to be approved
  • includes modifications to making it shorter and easier to use

Revised guidance covers how Office of Rail and Road will:

  • deal with applications for new facility access contracts
  • amendments to existing contracts
