When this service may be useful
Transport evidence explains how a proposal affects access, travel and the surrounding network. The level of assessment depends on the development scale, uses and the issues raised by the site.
Transport & viability
Transport Statements & Transport Assessments
Evidence explaining access, travel and transport implications of development.
How the work is approached
Specialist input reviews the location, access arrangements and development assumptions. The work considers the agreed topics, which may include trip generation, sustainable travel, servicing, safety and network effects. Surveys and modelling are identified before commissioning.
What you receive
You receive the agreed transport statement or assessment and recommendations for the proposal. The distinction between a proportionate statement and a fuller assessment is confirmed when the scope is agreed.
What we need to start
Site location, proposed uses, development scale and access arrangements.
We review the site, proposal and planning stage to agree the appropriate scope. Specialist surveys and assessments are coordinated where needed.

Clear answers to help you plan your next step.
Still have a question?
Tell us about the site and we will confirm what is needed and what it should cost.
Make an enquiryDo I need a transport statement or a full assessment?
The suitable level of evidence depends on the development scale, uses, location and issues raised. We establish the required scope using the proposal and relevant council advice, rather than assuming that every project needs the same assessment.
What information should I provide to get started?
Site location, proposed uses, development scale and access arrangements.
How is the fee for this service confirmed?
The price shown is a starting estimate for the stated scope. We review the site, proposal, available information and required deliverables, then confirm the fee, exclusions and programme in a written quotation before appointment.
How do your specialists work together on a project?
We bring the relevant planning consultants and specialist providers into a coordinated project team. They work from an agreed brief and current proposal, with dependencies and design changes discussed across disciplines. Each consultant remains responsible for their own professional advice and agreed deliverables.
PART OF A COORDINATED APPOINTMENT
Your specialist evidence, connected.
This service can form part of a wider coordinated planning appointment. We bring the relevant consultants together to work alongside your design team, discuss assessment findings and identify how recommendations affect other reports and the proposal.
Your fee proposal confirms who prepares each document, the information it relies on and the limits of the instruction. A report provides evidence for the council’s assessment; the planning decision remains the council’s. Explore how our consultants work together or discuss the team your project needs.
