New development can sometimes cause inconvenience, disturbance and
disruption to local residents, businesses and passers by.
As a result the City Council runs a Considerate Contractor Scheme aimed at
promoting high standards of care during construction. The City Council
encourages the developer of the site, through its building contractor, to join
the scheme and agree to comply with the model Code of Good Practice, in the
interests of good neighbourliness. Information about the scheme can be obtained
from The Considerate Contractor Project Officer in the Planning Department
(Tel: 01223 457121).
