OUR APPROACH

This was a highly sensitive project that sought to deliver much-needed local housing and employment alongside some critical infrastructure improvements.Our Transport Assessment included a detailed appraisal of the potential development traffic increases alongside other pending local developments, ultimately presenting innovative and efficient highway design solutions for mitigating any adverse impact.This also included the design of a key relief road improvement scheme that sought to deliver much-needed capacity from the existing heavily used route. We helped to secure planning permission by the provision of giving evidence at the corresponding Public Inquiry, acting as an expert witness on the highways and transportation issues.
