To manage traffic associated with the development, GEL is required to have a detailed traffic management plan, which may include temporary road closures and parking restrictions whilst larger vehicles are entering and exiting the site. However, these must be planned in advance to minimise disruption. A traffic management plan for each site will be drawn up in discussion with Highways England and the emergency services; it is something that Highways will govern, and GEL will be responsible for the distribution of this information to all hauliers and site visitors.

Traffic increase around site will be highest at the start and end of the drilling phase when the drilling equipment is moved into/out of the site. During this time, the number of loads will be managed to ensure it is not significantly above the average traffic for the access road, and movements will only occur between 7am-7pm. There will be no queueing outside of the site. At all other times, including when the power plant is operational, there will be just a few cars visiting the site.
