The principals of the Company are regularly involved as expert witnesses at Planning Inquiries, and in providing strategic advice on emerging transport and land use policy.

The link between land use planning and transport is currently an issue of major and increasing importance to all involved in assessing development opportunities. The issues are sometimes complex in nature and require analysis on a site by site basis.

The Company tackles all aspects of transport study and traffic impact work, from initial assessments, through masterplanning, design, travel plans, public transport, traffic impact analyses, negotiation, and detailed highway design work. A substantial proportion of our work relies on ‘problem solving’, and we pride ourselves on taking imaginative and innovative approaches to those tasks where that is required. Our sights are firmly focussed on the overall objectives of the client, and our approach to a project reflects that.

It is the company’s policy that clients can rely on the day to day involvement of a principal on their projects.
