Pedestrian and cyclist safety – Small scale deliveries - KBCN1151

Where the asset only accepts deliveries on-site from small delivery vehicles (including cars or small vans), and does not require deliveries from medium to large delivery vehicles (defined as any vehicle with a wheelbase greater than 120 inches), then the credits can still be awarded if the following aspects have been met: 

1. Although the delivery vehicle can use the same access point, there should be a dedicated parking position for the delivery vehicle, and this should be separate from the regular parking spaces; 
2. Deliveries made to this asset should be infrequent, on average this should be less than three deliveries a day; 
3. The access, parking and turning areas for delivery vehicles are designed for simple manoeuvring according to the type of delivery vehicle likely to access the site, thus avoiding the need for a multipoint turn.

Safe pedestrian routes – Definition, measurement and verification - KBCN0238

Definition Safe pedestrian routes include sidewalks and safe crossing points, which may be controlled or, for example, be identified by tactile paving, a crossing island or a dropped curb. An element of judgement may be required, in which case justification should be provided. Measurement Distances could be measured, for example, along a sidewalk, across a road at a safe crossing point and along the sidewalk on the other side.  The distance should not be measured diagonally across a road, following the most direct route. Verification The assessor’s site inspection is an important aspect of the assessment and may help to confirm that all relevant information is current and can include photographs of any key areas. This can also help to identify safe crossing points or hazards which may not be apparent from a desktop study. However, web-based evidence may also be used where the assessor is satisfied that it is robust and demonstrates that it is up to date. Where web-based navigation maps (e.g. Google Maps/Street View) are used as supporting evidence, this must include: • Dated and marked-up site plan or a web-based navigation map viewer highlighting: • Current location and type of transport nodes and local amenities. • Current route and distance from the building via a safe pedestrian route. • Plan or map scale. When using web-based evidence for post-construction stage, the assessor must, additionally, provide verification that the information provided for the nodes/amenities is still accurate and up to date.

29 Aug 2025 - Approach to web-based map data at post-construction stage updated and related wording amended accordingly
07 Mar 2024 - No changes have been made. This appears as 'updated' due to an administrative error.
11 Jan 2024 - Wording re-structured for clarity
19 Dec 2023 - Applicability to BIU V6 confirmed
