Transport Assessments and Statements are often required to support planning applications and evaluate the impact of development on the highway network. Our team prepares clear, robust reports in line with national guidance, assessing trip generation, local infrastructure and potential impacts. Our team provides practical mitigation measures to support sustainable development and help schemes progress through planning.
Travel Plans are used to promote sustainable transport choices and are often required to discharge planning conditions. At MEC we develop tailored Travel Plans and supporting information packs that encourage walking, cycling and public transport use. Our team also provides ongoing support, including monitoring and coordination, to ensure developments meet agreed targets and reduce reliance on private vehicles.
Safe and suitable access is a key requirement for any development. MEC provides expert advice on access design, ensuring proposals meet national and local standards while remaining practical and deliverable. From initial feasibility through to detailed design, we help identify the most appropriate access solutions and support successful planning outcomes.
Early highway design plays an important role in shaping development proposals. Our team provides preliminary designs for junctions, access arrangements and mitigation measures, ensuring they align with design standards and planning requirements. By considering highway design early, we help reduce risk, avoid delays and support efficient project progression.
Road Safety Audits are an essential part of the design process, ensuring that highway proposals are safe for all users. We support the audit process by identifying potential safety issues and advising on appropriate design responses. This helps ensure developments meet safety standards and can be delivered with confidence.
Transport can form a key component of wider environmental considerations. MEC supports Environmental Impact Assessments by evaluating the transport-related effects of development, including traffic movements and sustainability. Our team provides clear, evidence-based input to support planning applications and demonstrate that developments align with environmental objectives.
Transport-related planning conditions can influence the delivery and operation of a development. We support clients in addressing and discharging these conditions by providing the necessary reports, strategies and technical input. By working closely with local authorities, we help ensure requirements are met efficiently and projects can progress without delay.
