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.

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.

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.
