Transport Statement Warrington

A warehouse extension for thriving frozen food retailers Magnavale was strategically positioned in a prime location that offers significant logistical advantages. Situated just off the A580 East Lancashire Way, this site is exceptionally well-suited for efficient distribution throughout the North West region of England. The A580, known for its connectivity, serves as a vital arterial route that facilitates the movement of goods and services, making it an ideal choice for a warehouse extension aimed at enhancing operational efficiency. The proximity to major urban centers and transport links ensures that Magnavale can effectively meet the growing demand for frozen food products in a timely manner, thereby solidifying its competitive edge in the market.

For this transport statement, iRIS sustainable planning consultants undertook a detailed trip rate analysis, which involved assessing the expected traffic movements associated with the warehouse extension. This analysis is crucial for understanding the potential impact on the local road network and ensuring that the infrastructure can accommodate the increased volume of deliveries and pickups. In addition to the trip rate analysis, a thorough examination of the local and national highways network was conducted. This involved evaluating existing road conditions, traffic flow patterns, and potential bottlenecks that could affect distribution efficiency.

Furthermore, iRIS placed significant emphasis on the accessibility of the site via sustainable methods of transportation. The evaluation included an in-depth look at public transport options available to employees and delivery personnel, as well as the feasibility of cycling and walking routes to encourage environmentally friendly commuting practices. By promoting sustainable transport methods, the project not only aims to reduce carbon emissions associated with logistics but also enhances the overall accessibility of the warehouse for staff and visitors alike. This holistic approach to planning ensures that the warehouse extension aligns with modern sustainability goals while meeting the operational needs of Magnavale.
