We were tasked with reviewing Plymouth Highways various objections based on traffic generation and inadequate parking provision. Once these were understood we were able to work collaboratively over several months with the client and the highways officer as part of pre-app discussions to agree a new scope of work that could be undertaken to address the concerns raised.

Parking and travel surveys were carried out at the site to understand the baseline situation, and from that we were able to provide compelling evidence demonstrating to the highways officer that the development proposals meet the transport requirements of both national and local policy, and therefore that the original objections were unwarranted. An Addendum Transport Assessment was prepared to pull together the new information and this was accepted by the highways officer. Consequently, the scheme was granted planning approval by delegated decision in March 2025.

Our input was led by Craig and Ceri within our Transport Planning Team.
