The future of travel in the UK?
We have an unprecedented opportunity to look beyond responding to the here and now, and to reimagine the future of transport in the UK. The national response to the coronavirus pandemic has pressed Ctrl/Alt/Delete on our travel behaviour. So what happens next?

In light of the evolving coronavirus situation, we would therefore like to reassure our clients and partners that we have procedures in place to enable full business continuity.

Refused against officer recommendation
Very frustrating planning decision in Essex this week. Our client's planning application for 200+ new homes was refused against officer recommendation. The planning and highway authorities both supported the development and a package of highway improvements had been negotiated and agreed with the the local highway authority. On the night, however, one Councillor stated his objection by mis-quoting the commitee report. He was corrected by officers; however, that was sufficient for the vote to go against the development. One reason for refusal was that the cumulative transport effect of this and a neighbouring development would be 'severe', despite that being a specific component of the approved Transport Assessment.
