Transport Planning

Transport PlanningTransport Assessments, or Transport Statements depending on the scale of the development proposal, are frequently required as part of the planning process in order to allow the Local Planning Authority to determine the potential impact on the local highway network resulting from a new development proposal.

The TA allows the authority to consider any mitigation measures that are proposed to deal with this impact and view the potential sustainable credentials of the development. Hykeham Consulting engineers have a depth of experience in the preparation of Transport Assessments and Transport Statements across the UK.

In most cases Travel Plan documents, that detail the sustainable travel credentials of a site and the measures proposed to promote those credentials in order to meet alternative travel targets, have been produced in conjunction with the TA’s.
