The Rob Burrow Centre for Motor Neurone Disease is a purpose-built facility located at Seacroft Hospital in Leeds bringing together specialist care, research and support services for MND under one roof.
We provide expert, evidence-led transport planning advice from the initial concept stage through to detailed design and implementation, nationally. We focus on providing innovative and cost-effective transport solutions to support both private and public sector developments, including due diligence, masterplanning, strategic regeneration, support through the planning application process, and post-planning solutions.

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.
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.

“From a Transport Planning perspective, we’d also like to pass on our appreciation for a job exceptionally well done on a complex and demanding piece of work. Securing a recommendation for approval at this stage is the best possible outcome, and we genuinely value the effort, collaboration, and professionalism that went into achieving it.”
We're delighted to be part of this year's European Healthcare Design Congress later this month.
At Curtins, we know our people set us apart, and our first-ever Leadership Lab - sponsored by Symetri, was designed to invest in the leaders who will shape our future.
We began the year by welcoming two brand new roles into our Digital and Innovation team, with a strong focus on research and development. Working in partnership with Ayming and Innovate UK, these roles are opening up new opportunities, including access to low‑carbon construction technologies. Marc and Sophie joined us for Episode 2 of Behind the Curtin, our podcast, to share more about what they have planned.
