Transport Assessment Basics
A transport assessment is a crucial document that demonstrates to the planning committee that you have thoroughly evaluated potential effects of your development on the local transport network. By addressing key factors such as traffic flow, public transport accessibility, and pedestrian safety, you can effectively communicate your commitment to responsible planning and sustainable development. This assessment not only supports your proposal but also helps to ensure that the surrounding community's needs considered.
A transport assessment is crucial for larger developments as it evaluates the impact on the surrounding highway network. The specific scope of the assessment is determined in collaboration with the local authority. It will focus on assessing the safety and capacity of each junction that is expected to experience a 5% increase in traffic volume. This process ensures that potential traffic implications are thoroughly understood and addressed.
