Your Journey, Our Passion Modelling of nearby junctions established that the additional HGV traffic could be accommodated on the local network. The effect on the adjacent strategic road network, especially the A4 and M5 was also assessed and it was demonstrated that the additional trips would have a negligible impact on the strategic road network. A HGV routing plan was prepared to ensure the large vehicles would travel on suitable roads.

4 CASE STUDY GP PLANNING LTD / DRENL LTD D E T A I L S Transport Statement Industrial Waste Recycling Facility Trip Generation, Traffic Impact, Transport Statement, Site operation and swept path analysis. R E S U L T CORBY RECYCLING CENTRE Earlstrees Industrial Estate, Corby, Northamptonshire, NN17 2BA A Transport Statement was prepared in support of a planning application to double the amount of waste at an existing recycling facility. Origin compiled a detailed Transport Statement. As there was no readily available data to estimate the likely trip generation associated with the proposal, trip generation rates were established on the basis of first principles by using weighbridge data. HGV tracking was undertaken to show that HGV's can safely manoeuvre into and out of the site access junction. The drawings also demonstrated that goods vehicle demand can be accommodated on the site with no impact on the highway The planning application is currently being considered by the local authority.

6 CASE STUDY SHF PROPERTY INVESTMENTS LLP D E T A I L S Residential Development Technical Note Accessibility, Assessment and Parking, Accumulation Exercise R E S U L T The Highway Authority accepted the reduced parking provision. DALLOW ROAD Dalroad Industrial Estate, Dallow Rd, Luton Origin Transport Consultants Ltd were commissioned by SHF Property Investments LLP to evaluate the site accessibility and the car parking requirements for a residential development comprising of approximately 200 flats and 125 allocated car parking spaces. The Technical Note was prepared in order to demonstrate that the development site is situated in a sustainable location and, therefore, a reduced number of car parking in comparison to the current policy requirements would not be detrimental to the surrounding highway network. The proposed development site is highlighted by the red line.

7 T R U S T O U R E X P E R I E N C E T O L E A D T O Y O U R S U C C E S S DALLOW ROAD Your Project. Your Journey. Our Passion A comprehensive study was carried out to identify the pedestrian and cycling links to local amenities and facilities, including education, employment, health, leisure, public parks, post offices, pharmacy, retail facilities and supermarkets. The analysis helped to establish that the majority of destinations were within the preferred maximum range according to the IHT guidelines set out in 'Providing for Journeys on Foot'. As an illustration, Table 1 below provides a summary of the assessed bus services. A parking accumulation exercise was undertaken and compared against car and cycle parking standards as set out in the Luton Local Plan. The study demonstrated that the proposed provision of 125 allocated spaces was in line with the 2011 Census car ownership levels for households on Dallow Road. The Technical Note therefore demonstrated that is was acceptable for this development to provide a reduced level of parking provision and that this would not result in any additional levels of onstreet parking in the vicinity of the proposed development.

8 CASE STUDY BUCKINGHAMSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL D E T A I L S School Expansion Transport Statement Traffic Survey, Trip Generation and Impact R E S U L T Planning permission for the school expansion was granted EAST CLAYDON SCHOOL East Claydon C of E School, East Claydon, Buckinghamshire Origin Transport Consultants Ltd were commissioned by Buckinghamshire County Council to prepare a Transport Statement in support of a planning application for the expansion of East Claydon C of E School, St Mary's Road, East Claydon, Buckinghamshire. The school currently operates as a Pre School and has an Infant School for 2-7 years old, with a combined capacity of 45 pupils. The school proposes to expand with two new classrooms, in order to accommodate an additional 60 pupils by 2020 and become a primary school, introducing Years 3-6 progressively. on 08th August 2017.

9 T R U S T O U R E X P E R I E N C E T O L E A D T O Y O U R S U C C E S S EAST CLAYDON SCHOOL Your Project. Your Journey. Our Passion The school had reported that, because it currently provides education up to Key Stage 1 only, it is not often the first choice school for parents, even for those living in the village. The proposed school expansion will make the school more attractive and it will reduce the need for parents to transport their children to a different school for their next Key Stage, decreasing some of the existing vehicular trips on the wider network in this area. Origin conducted traffic surveys and analyses the current existing traffic conditions, likely trip generation and transport impact of the proposed expansion in the Transport Statement and concluded that the additional trips are not significant and can be accommodated on the local road networkmodelling of nearby junctions established that the additional HGV traffic could be accommodated on the local network. The effect on the adjacent strategic road network, especially the A4 and M5 was also assessed and it was demonstrated that the additional trips would have a negligible impact on the strategic road network.

Our Passion The Transport Assessment highlighted the sustainability of the site and proposed additional sustainable travel solutions including an off-road pedestrian /cycle route. This route will provide safe cycle links from the development site to primary and secondary schools as well as to nearby National Cycle Route 6. The Transport Assessment also included junction modelling and demonstrated that the trips to and from the proposed development will have a minimal effect on the local road network. The proposed development received no objections from the local highway authority. A visibility drawing verified that visibility splays can comply with Manual for Streets guidance by trimming or clearing vegetation within the highway verges and within land under the control of the applicant.

14 CASE STUDY RUSKIN COLLEGE D E T A I L S RUSKIN COLLEGE Transport Assessment Dunston Road Campus, Headington, Oxford. Origin Transport Consultants Ltd were commissioned by Ruskin College, Oxford with obtaining planning permission for 95 units of student accommodation on their Dunston Road Campus in Headington, Oxford. R E S U L T Planning Permission was granted on 04th April 2018 The proposal will consolidate activities to the Dunstan Road site, providing residential accommodation on the same site as the academic buildings. This reduces the need for students to travel between campuses and has the potential to reduce traffic demand. The Dunstan Road site is situated in a sustainable location, within walking distance of the District Retail area as well as high frequency Public Transport. It is therefore an excellent location for this car free development.

15 CASE STUDY OXFORDSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL D E T A I L S Network Modelling Linisg modelling of constrained network SUTTON Culham Bridges COURTENAY Origin Transport Consultants Ltd was commissioned by Oxfordshire County Council (OCC) to undertake modelling work on three junctions in Sutton Courtenay adjacent to the Culham Bridges, and determine the impact of a number of proposed development schemes on the operation of the local highway network. R E S U L T Successfully received no Highways objection. The network is complex comprising two junctions either side of the River Thames as well as a section of signal controlled single way working on the bridge between them. The purpose of the analysis was to consider the cumulative traffic impact of four separate developments in the area that would total some 488 dwellings and significant commercial development with the bridge being the only way to cross the river thames locally.

16 T R U S T O U R E X P E R I E N C E T O L E A D T O Y O U R S U C C E S S SUTTON COURTENAY Your Project. Your Journey.
