Transport

At MEC, our transport team has a wealth of experience dealing with residential, commercial, retail and leisure developments across the country, providing the best service to our clients. The team is highly skilled in using the latest industry-related software and devising innovative solutions around modal shift and reducing the need to travel.

The demand for growth across the UK continues to increase, with transport often being a fundamental issue at the planning stage. We ensure development proposals are sustainable and have a minimal environmental impact whilst meeting the travel demands of a 21st-century population.

Our transport team works in partnership with our clients and the local highway authority to form positive relationships and provide early engagement between all parties. We believe bringing the local highway authority into the design process is key to agreeing a suitable scope of transport works, ensuring sites meet national and local guidance, and making the planning process as efficient as possible.

Our specialists provide an array of services tailored to the clients' needs. From initial feasibility advice and site promotion, we can then support all forms of planning applications by providing traffic surveys and analysis, Transport Statements and/or Assessments, travel planning, site access advice and preliminary design, and variation negotiations around planning conditions.

Where required, we also produce robust Environmental Impact Assessments relating to transport and highways, addressing the potential effects of new development proposals in line with UK planning legislation. Our assessments support informed decision-making by identifying, evaluating, and mitigating environmental risks associated with transport infrastructure at an early stage.

Our team will ensure your development meets all relevant requirements, is cost-effective and has the best possible chance of attaining planning.
