Transport

Transport is often a fundamental issue at the planning stage and can be highly emotive, whereby failure to utilise the skills and expertise of a qualified, professional consultant can jeopardise a successful outcome.

Our transport expertise includes:

	Transport statements and assessments			Travel plans
	Site access advice and design			Off-site highway improvement
	Sustainable transport appraisals			Developer negotiations (S106)
	Expert witness - planning appeals and public inquiries			Traffic, speed and parking surveys

M-EC’s transport team provides detailed and robust assessments in line with current transport policies and legislation, ensuring transport matters are fully appraised and assessed in support of the delivery of a positive planning resolution.

We work from an initial design concept, giving consideration to site specific access and development principles to provide viable and deliverable solutions.

Our assessments consider the impact of development on the local and wider highway network, provide realistic and genuinely sustainable travel options and set out comprehensive recommendations relating to mitigation measures to ensure the development can be successfully accommodated.

As transport is often of key importance both locally and politically, M-EC attends public consultations and other stakeholder events. We ensure all aspects of a project are explained, monitored and delivered.

This ensures the transport proposals meet the aims and objectives of planning and highway authorities and other third parties.
