Transport Statements

In some cases, the transport issues arising out of development proposals may not require a full Transport Assessment to inform the process adequately and identify suitable mitigation. In these instances, it has become common practice to produce a simplified report in the form of a Transport Statement (TS).

A TS is suitable when the proposed development is expected to generate relatively low numbers of trips or traffic flows, with minor transport impacts.

In summary, a TS could typically include:

• Existing site information;
• Baseline transport data;
• Details of the proposed development;
• A qualitative and quantitative description of the travel characteristics of the development;
• Proposed improvements to site accessibility via sustainable modes;
• A proposed parking strategy and internal vehicle circulation;
• An assessment of residual trip impact;

At TPS we work with clients to prepare Transport Statements in support of planning applications.

If you would like to discuss your requirements for a TS further please do not hesitate to give us a call on 01924 272997, or fill in the form on our contact page.
