Engage your transport Planner as soon as possible as they can help to save time and money when designing both internal circulation and the access for your development.

This all depends on the size and level of sensitivity of your proposed development. If it looks like the development will have a noticeable impact on the local highway network then it is likely that a Transport Assessment will be required.

Where pre-app has taken place for your planning application the council will request the level of assessment required.

A Section 106 is usually asked for in the conditions of planning approvals. A Section 106 payment is a request from the council for monies towards improvements in the local area such as bus stops and cycle paths.

The easy answer is to say ‘when the council demand you need to provide it’. The reality is that requests for transport models to be undertaken can be frustrating to developers, however they are provided to fully understand the impact that your development is likely to have on the local highway network.

Junction assessments are provided for most large schemes within a Transport Assessment as standard. They are also required for ‘sensitive’ areas or developments where further evidence is needed to justify the development in that location.

ARCADY and PICADY are used to model the impact that your development will have on roundabouts and junctions serving or within the vicinity of your development.

A traffic survey is often required to provide the data needed to undertake transport modelling tasks.

LINSIG is used to model traffic lights and how your development will impact on existing ones or how providing a new set will mitigate your development.
