Inspire Design & Development Ltd has been providing planning support and design services
since 2004. These services include traffic and transportation consultancy. Most developments
of any reasonable size require a transport assessment. A transport assessment is the study of
the effect of the development upon the transport network.
Works that can be undertaken include:
• Transport Assessment / Statement production
• Travel Planning
• Junction Modelling (priority junction / rounda-
bout / traffic signals and signalised rounda-
bouts)
• Parking Assessment
• Accessibility Appraisal
• Detailed junction design
• Detailed traffic signal design and commission-
ing
• Development optimisation (identification of
capacity limits of existing junctions to identify
limiting factors)
• Feasibility Assessment
• Intelligent Transport Systems
• Multi Modal Assessments
• Liaison and negotiation with highway authorities
Transport Planning and Traffic Engineering

based upon travel time. Produced by using CENSUS data cross referenced to the Google
journey time assessment.
From initial feasibility of a site through to the construction of
the infrastructure, Inspire Design & Development Ltd have
the transport and traffic engineering capability to provide
for the inception of your project through to implementation.

Travel Plans
Travel Planning is a requirement for the vast majority of planning applica-
tions. Modern society has grown around the car and as a result residen-
tial and work places are often disparate. This leads to a reliance upon the
car and the consequential pollution and congestion issues that arise.
Travel plans are documents that seek to reduce the number of single oc-
cupancy vehicles used to travel to the development.
Travel Planning requires the assessment of:
• Public transport services and facilities local to the development
• Facilities for walking to the development
• Facilities for cycling to the development.
Measurement of existing performances will be taken as a benchmark to
measure improvement against.
Following this measures will be suggested that promote sustainable trav-
el. An example of these measures could be;
• Showering and cycle storage facilities
• Bus shelter provision or bus service penetration of the site
• Car club establishment (short term car loan for an annual fee)
• Cycle Buddy Club (matching up experienced cyclists with beginners)
• Walking route improvement (paving / lighting / crossing points etc)
• Through site pedestrian routes (Direct routes for pedestrians reducing
walk time)
