Working hours and
environmental monitoring
As permitted by Southwark
Council, contractors will be working
standard construction hours:
• Monday - Friday, 8am-6pm
• Saturday, 8am-2pm (no noisy
works before 9am)
When work outside of standard
hours is needed, for example to
accommodate a crane delivery,
this will be agreed with Southwark
Council and communicated in
advance.
In line with the Construction
Management Plans for these plots,
contractors will be taking steps to
reduce the impact on people living
nearby and will use noise, vibration
and dust monitoring equipment to
continuously monitor levels. This
will ensure that they are within
the levels agreed with Southwark
