Early engagement is often critical to understand the development potential of a site, in transport and highway terms. Craig Oakes Transport Planning can undertake an initial site visit and appraisal to advise on all transport related aspects of your proposal.

Whether that be providing advice on how best to access your site, what are the likely requirements for an application, what could be served from an access or simply can it be done? We can review the land in question and provide our thoughts on what should be acceptable, based on many years of experience.

Once it is decided that an appropriate access can be achieved a Transport Scope can be issued to the Local Authorities to aid pre-application discussions and agree a way forward with the Highway Authority for future reporting and requirements for your development.

This often means working alongside other professionals , such as planning consultants, architects or engineers.
