Transport Planning
Transport planning is an integral part of the development process – engineering involvement from the outset of a project can provide significant benefits towards the successful outcome of a proposal. The movement of people and vehicles both within a development and on the surrounding transport networks is a fundamental issue for all types of land uses.
With reference to the current local and national planning and policy guidance, Calcinotto regularly produces Transport Assessments, Transport Statements and Travel Plans to support all types of development proposals. We have the expert knowledge and skills necessary to model the proposed development transport implications. To undertake this type of work, we use Micro-Simulation software and comprehensive GIS analysis to replicate a proposal in the best possible context.
Calcinotto offers a full suite of transportation planning services to support all types of development and infrastructure projects. Our transport planning capabilities complement the other pre-planning services we offer, in order to provide a comprehensive integrated service to our clients.
