Planning Policy Guidance Note 13: Transport (PPG13) states that, where a new development is likely to have significant transport implications, a Transport Assessment (TA) should be prepared and submitted with a planning application for the development. It will then be used to determine whether the impact of the development on transport is acceptable. TAs are normally produced by developers and are used by decision makers in the planning process.
A TA is a comprehensive and systematic process that sets out transport issues relating to a proposed development. It identifies what measures will be taken to deal with the anticipated transport impacts of the scheme and to improve accessibility and safety for all modes of travel, particularly for alternatives to the car such as walking, cycling and public transport.
At TPS we work with clients to prepare Transport Assessments in support of planning applications. Our team are able to offer advice on the size and scope of the TA, modal choice and trip attraction, trip distribution, traffic assignment and parking for all types and sizes of development.
If you would like to discuss your requirements for a TA further please do not hesitate to give us a call on 01924 237086, or fill in the form on our contact page.
