Transport Assessment Blackpool

A transport assessment is essential for most projects as it provides an excellent overview of the local highways infrastructure and existing demand on the road network. This document serves as a critical tool in assessing how the proposed development will interact with the surrounding transportation landscape, including traffic flow, accessibility, and potential impacts on the local community. In the context of this specific project, which was a double glazing distribution centre, its strategic location close to the M55 and just around the corner from Affordable Window's current site at Marton in Blackpool enhances its importance, as it is ideally situated to serve as their main distribution facility. This proximity not only facilitates efficient logistics and supply chain management but also minimizes transportation costs and delivery times, which are crucial factors in the competitive glazing market.

An examination of road safety, junction surveys and trip analysis by our transport consultants provided a comprehensive and reliable report on the suitability of the site for this purpose. The trip analysis was them passed through the TEMPro system, is a widely used tool transport assessments to evaluate the expected traffic generation of a development based on the NTEM data. This analysis helps our consultants to predict traffic patterns, peak times, and potential congestion issues, ensuring that all factors were taken into account in the planning process. This thorough examination is crucial for mitigating any adverse effects on the existing road network and enhancing overall safety for all road users, including pedestrians and cyclists.
