Connecting our Towns and Cities
We provide early strategic thinking to projects to identify key issues and risks. Coupled with the capability to resolve and negotiate difficult problems, we have developed a consistently high standing with our clients for delivering successful outcomes.
Sustainable transport solutions are often an important requirement in the support of both local and national planning policies. Members of our team have significant experience in the production of these documents up to and through the planning application process, including Public Consultation, Exhibitions, and Planning Appeals or Evidence, if necessary.
We understand and appreciate the transport impact that developments can have on the local area, as well as the wider implications of the scheme. We actively engage with the Council Highways Officers and other key consultees, such as the National Highways, public transport operators and design team members to collaborate on solutions.
Post Planning Solutions
Following successful planning, we’ll support in discharging relevant planning/highway conditions with Servicing Strategies and Car Park Management Plans; and progress the detailed design of associated highway infrastructure improvements, delivered by our own Infrastructure team.
We have extensive experience in leading negotiations with local highways authorities over S106 contributions, securing significant savings for our clients.
Finally, we assist clients and contractors in project delivery. Be this through highway licence applications, temporary highway works designs to support construction, stopping up orders, temporary traffic regulation orders / road closures or general construction logistics support, our team will deliver a high-quality service with continuity to completion.
Accessibility Planning
Our national accessibility planning resource provides an evidence-base to guide the optimisation of development masterplans, evaluates best-value travel planning initiatives and considers accessibility relative to competing sites take development proposals through the planning process.
Using specialist software to analyse geo-demographic data, we deliver key performance indicators in terms of travel time, cost or distance. Our innovative application of this software can ease the planning application process in the following ways:
Site promotion: comparing your application site to permitted sites or allocated alternatives, incorporating census data analysis if needed.
Masterplans: informing transport infrastructure design and strategic placement to enhance accessibility without increasing costs.
Travel planning: evaluating best-value initiatives based on evidence-based approaches.
Engagement: creating easy-to-understand graphical representations of accessibility for stakeholders.
Added value: enhancing accuracy and quality of accessibility analysis in transport assessments.
