Delivering successful outcomes through planning 

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 an important requirement in the support of both local and national planning policies. Members of our team have significant experience in preparing cost-effective plans, strategies, and solutions up to and through the planning application process, including public consultation, exhibitions, and planning appeals, as 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 Council Highways Officers and other key consultees, such as Active Travel England and National Highways, public transport operators, and design team members to collaborate on solutions that build thriving communities. 

Post-Planning Solutions

Following successful planning, we support in discharging relevant transport and highway conditions with Travel Plan support, traffic and parking-related management plans and strategies, and progression of the detailed design of associated highway infrastructure improvements, delivered by our own civil and structural engineering team. 

We have extensive experience in leading negotiations with local highways authorities over S106 contributions, ensuring that schemes are deliverable for our clients.  

Finally, we assist clients and contractors in project delivery. Be this through stopping-up orders,  traffic regulation orders, or general construction logistics support, our team will deliver a high-quality service with continuity towards completion.
