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
