| Threemilestone, Truro |
Hawthorn Transport Planning were instructed to prepare a Transportation Assessment and Travel Plan to support a planning application for 9234m2 of mixed employment use in a commercial area on the outskirts of Truro.
As part of the scheme we modelled the impact on four junctions and negotiated with both the local highway authority and the Highways Agency. |
| Penventon, Redruth |
Hawthorn Transport Planning were instructed to prepare a Transport Assessment, Travel Plan and Pedestrian Audit to support a planning application for a 91 bedroom hotel with 316m2 conference facilities and 991m2 leisure facilities along with 88 dwellings on a site in Redruth, Cornwall.
The submission included junction modelling and detailed design of the estate road levels. |
| Thamesfield Way, Great Yarmouth |
Hawthorn Transport Planning were instructed to prepare a Transportation Assessment and Travel Plan to support a planning application for 5800m2 of workshops and offices in a three storey building in a commercial area on the outskirts of Great Yarmouth.
The scheme required negotiation with both the local highway authority and the Highways Agency. As the client was a relocating business the Travel Plan included an analysis of the existing travel patterns of the employees and an analysis of the likely changes to that pattern and the opportunities for change to more sustainable travel modes. |
| Kerley Paddock, Chacewater, Truro |
Hawthorn Transport Planning were instructed to prepare a Transportation Assessment and Travel Plan to support a planning application for a 540m2 warehouse building, a total of 63 HGV parking spaces, 65 car parking spaces, 10 cycle parking spaces and significant additional landscaping to significantly expand an existing small haulage depot in a rural area.
The submission involved modelling of two junctions as well as negotiations with the local highway authority and the Highways Agency. |
| Tynings Road, Bath |
Hawthorn Transport Planning were instructed to prepare a statement to support an appeal against a refusal of planning permission for two dwellings.
The original application was refused because the lane accessing the site was too narrow to allow two vehicles to pass and the local authority were of the view that the traffic from the eleven dwellings already using the lane plus that from the proposed dwellings would lead to highway dangers. Following the submission of our statement the appeal was allowed. |
| Stonehouse Youth Centre |
Hawthorn Transport Planning were instructed to prepare a statement to support an appeal against a refusal of planning permission for eight dwellings to replace a former youth centre.
There was considerable local objection to the scheme on highway grounds and the local authority had reflected those objections in the refusal reasons. Following an informal hearing the highway objection was overturned. |
| Over Farm Shop, Gloucester |
Hawthorn Transport Planning were instructed to prepare a Transportation Assessment and Travel Plan to support a planning application for a new farm shop building with a total gross floor area of 846m2.
The site has an access directly onto the A40 Trunk Road and therefore the Highways Agency were the lead highway authority on the project and the impact on their signalised junction had to be assessed. |
| Naas Lane APC, Gloucester |
Hawthorn Transport Planning were instructed to advise a developer who had received an advance payments Code Notice from the local highway authority requiring a payment of £41,000 to be made to the Council prior to work starting on the site.
Following our intervention we have managed to secure an Exemption Notice for our client which has had the requirements of the Notice set aside. |
| Victoria, Roche |
Hawthorn Transport Planning were instructed to prepare a Transportation Assessment and Travel Plan to support a planning application for 13756m2 of B1, B2 & B8 uses in eleven blocks.
The scheme included modelling of a signalised junction and the preparation of a Travel Plan that met the latest BREEAM “excellent” requirements. We also dealt with the detailed design of the levels of the estate road and service yards. |
| North Street, Carshalton |
Hawthorn Transport Planning were instructed to prepare a Transport Statement and Travel Plan to support a planning application for the Victory Bible Church International (UK) which is a full gospel charismatic church to change the use of the ground floor of the premises on North Street, Carshalton from B1 office use to D1 use (place of worship and day nursery).
The submission included a survey of on street parking and an assessment of the possible impact of the development on additional on street parking associated with the development and how that could be mitigated with the provisions detailed in the Travel Plan. |
| Bushy Ground |
Hawthorn Transport Planning were instructed to negotiate with the local highway authority following the refusal of permission of a planning application for a single dwelling accessed from Bushy Ground, Minster Lovell on the grounds of restricted visibility at the road junction.
Following our involvement and the solution we proposed planning permission has now been granted for the dwelling. |
| Adhya Shakti Mataji Temple, Hilklingdon |
Hawthorn Transport Planning were instructed to prepare a Travel Plan to support a planning application for a single storey extension and the retention of a portakabin building at the Adhya Shakti Mataji Temple, High Street, Hillingdon which resulted in the loss of a number of car parking spaces on the site.
The Travel Plan demonstrated how the demand for car parking spaces could be reduced to demonstrate to the local authority that the development would not result in an unacceptable increase in on street parking. |
| Hatton Court Hotel |
Hawthorn Transport Planning were instructed to prepare a Travel Plan and an assessment of the available visibility from the site access to support a planning application for the erection of a marquee for larger functions.
The local highway authority had objected to the proposal due to what they perceived as restricted visibility at the site entrance and a concern about the available car parking on site. Following our report and the likely impact of the Travel Plan consent was granted for the marquee. |
| Highfield Road, Chipping Sodbury |
Hawthorn Transport Planning were instructed to prepare a statement to support an appeal against a refusal of planning permission for the construction of a single dwelling in the rear garden of 5 Highfield Road, Chipping Sodbury.
The original refusal on grounds of a detrimental impact on highway safety was overturned by the inspector following our input. |
| Quarhouse Cattery, Stroud |
Hawthorn Transport Planning were instructed to prepare a Transportation Statement and Travel Plan to support a planning application for a boarding cattery along a single track road.
Our work overcame the highway authority's initial objection and we have subsequently achieved an extension to the cattery to include a number of boarding kennels. |
