Overview
JNP Group provided transport planning services in support of the redevelopment of an existing hatchery building into a 1,320sqm office building.
A Transport Statement was prepared, which summarised the accessibility of the site, confirming the existing access points remain appropriate and negligible impact on trip generation for the proposed redevelopment.
Project solutions
JNP Group advised on the required levels of parking in accordance with local standards and supported the development of the proposed layout.
This included the preparation of forward visibility splays for the bends within the site and swept path analysis for a heavy goods vehicle. Our transport team collaborated with the client’s design team to ensure that the layout was fully compliant before the planning submission.
Summary
The Local Highway Authority raised no objections, and the planning application was successfully approved.
