AVONMOUTH BIO POWER
Zinc Road , Avonmouth
Origin Transport Consultants Ltd were commissioned by
Avonmouth Biopower Energy Ltd to prepare a Transport
Statement in support of a planning application to amend
the feedstock and supply store source to the Avonmouth
Biopower Low Carbon Energy Facility.
The facility is capable of recovering energy from 100,000
tonnes of waste per annum and generates up to 14MW of
low carbon and renewable energy, enough to power
28,000 homes. This application will allow fuel to be
sourced from within a 50 mile radius rather than just from
the neighbouring plant.Avonmouth Biopower Facility

Modelling of nearby junctions established that the
additional HGV traffic could be accommodated on the local
network. The effect on the adjacent strategic road network,
especially the A4 and M5 was also assessed and it was
demonstrated that the additional trips would have a
negligible impact on the strategic road network.
A HGV routing plan was prepared to ensure the large
vehicles would travel on suitable roads.

A Transport Statement was prepared in support of a
planning application to double the amount of waste at an
existing recycling facility. Origin compiled a detailed
Transport Statement. As there was no readily available data
to estimate the likely trip generation associated with the
proposal, trip generation rates were established on the
basis of first principles by using weighbridge data.
HGV tracking was undertaken to show that HGV's can
safely manoeuvre into and out of the site access junction.
The drawings also demonstrated that goods vehicle demand
can be accommodated on the site with no impact on the
highway R E S U L T

DALLOW ROAD
Dalroad Industrial Estate , Dallow Rd , Luton
Origin Transport Consultants Ltd were commissioned by
SHF Property Investments LLP to evaluate the site
accessibility and the car parking requirements for a
residential development comprising of approximately 200
flats and 125 allocated car parking spaces.
The Technical Note was prepared in order to demonstrate
that the development site is situated in a sustainable
location and, therefore, a reduced number of car parking in
comparison to the current policy requirements would not
be detrimental to the surrounding highway network.
The proposed development site is highlighted by the red
line.

DALLOW ROAD
TRUST OUR EXPERIENCE TO LEAD TO YOUR SUCCESS
A comprehensive study was carried out to identify the pedestrian and cycling links to local
amenities and facilities, including education, employment, health, leisure, public parks, post offices,
pharmacy, retail facilities and supermarkets. The analysis helped to establish that the majority of
destinations were within the preferred maximum range according to the IHT guidelines set out in
'Providing for Journeys on Foot'. As an illustration, Table 1 below provides a summary of the
assessed bus services.
A parking accumulation exercise was undertaken and compared against car and cycle parking
standards as set out in the Luton Local Plan. The study demonstrated that the proposed provision
of 125 allocated spaces was in line with the 2011 Census car ownership levels for households on
Dallow Road.
The Technical Note therefore demonstrated that is was acceptable for this development to provide
a reduced level of parking provision and that this would not result in any additional levels of on-
street parking in the vicinity of the proposed development.

Origin Transport Consultants Ltd were commissioned by
Buckinghamshire County Council to prepare a Transport
Statement in support of a planning application for the
expansion of East Claydon C of E School, St Mary's Road,
East Claydon, Buckinghamshire.
The school currently operates as a Pre School and has an
Infant School for 2-7 years old, with a combined capacity
of 45 pupils. The school proposes to expand with two new
classrooms, in order to accommodate an additional 60
pupils by 2020 and become a primary school, introducing
Years 3-6 progressively.

EAST CLAYDON SCHOOL
TRUST OUR EXPERIENCE TO LEAD TO YOUR SUCCESS
The school had reported that, because it currently provides
education up to Key Stage 1 only, it is not often the first
choice school for parents, even for those living in the
village. The proposed school expansion will make the
school more attractive and it will reduce the need for
parents to transport their children to a different school for
their next Key Stage, decreasing some of the existing
vehicular trips on the wider network in this area.
Origin conducted traffic surveys and analyses the current
existing traffic conditions, likely trip generation and
transport impact of the proposed expansion in the
Transport Statement and concluded that the additional
trips are not significant and can be accommodated on the
local road networkModelling of nearby junctions

Origin Transport Consultants Ltd were commissioned by
Comer Homes to prepare a Transport Assessment and

Royal Connaught Park comprises of a complex of Grade II
listed buildings set in 100 acres of private parkland. The site
was in use as the Royal Masonic School for Boys until 1977.
In 2001, the site obtained planning consent for 307
dwellings which included refurbishment and works to the
listed buildings as well as new dwellings. Phase 3 of Royal
Connaught Park involves the development of 100 new units
in four blocks on the northern section of the site. R E S U L T

The Transport Assessment highlighted the sustainability of
the site and proposed additional sustainable travel solutions
including an off-road pedestrian /cycle route. This route will
provide safe cycle links from the development site to primary
and secondary schools as well as to nearby National Cycle
Route 6.
The Transport Assessment also included junction modelling
and demonstrated that the trips to and from the proposed
development will have a minimal effect on the local road
network.
The proposed development received no objections from the
local highway authority. A visibility drawing verified that
visibility splays can comply with Manual for Streets guidance
by trimming or clearing vegetation within the highway verges
and within land under the control of the applicant.

RUSKIN COLLEGE
Dunston Road Campus , Headington , Oxford .
Origin Transport Consultants Ltd were commissioned by
Ruskin College, Oxford with obtaining planning permission
for 95 units of student accommodation on their Dunston
Road Campus in Headington, Oxford.
The proposal will consolidate activities to the Dunstan Road
site, providing residential accommodation on the same site
as the academic buildings. This reduces the need for
students to travel between campuses and has the potential
to reduce traffic demand.
The Dunstan Road site is situated in a sustainable location,
within walking distance of the District Retail area as well as
high frequency Public Transport. It is therefore an excellent
location for this car free development.

Origin Transport Consultants Ltd was commissioned by
Oxfordshire County Council (OCC) to undertake modelling
work on three junctions in Sutton Courtenay adjacent to
the Culham Bridges, and determine the impact of a
number of proposed development schemes on the
operation of the local highway network.
The network is complex comprising two junctions either
side of the River Thames as well as a section of signal
controlled single way working on the bridge between them.
The purpose of the analysis was to consider the
cumulative traffic impact of four separate developments in
the area that would total some 488 dwellings and
significant commercial development with the bridge being
the only way to cross the river thames locally.

A linisg model was developed to assess all three junctions
individually and together as part of a linked network. Junction
network performance was validated against recorded queue
length data at each of the junctions and journey times across
the whole network.
Three Technical Notes considering various scenarios where
produced which allowed the County Council to conclude how it
would determine highways comments for each application.

Rotherham.
The facility would include a number of batteries that will be
available for use by the National Grid to help manage peaks
in demand, allowing excess energy generated from a variety
of conventional and renewable sources to be stored in
batteries at low demand, and fed back into the electricity
grid during periods of peak demand.
In consultation with Rotherham Metropolitan Borough
Council, Origin designated the safest location for access
and demonstrated that visibility splays in line with DMRB
requirements could be achieved.
