Transport Statements

A Transport Statement is a proportionate assessment of the transport and highway matters associated with a proposed development. It is commonly submitted with a planning application where some transport evidence is required, but the scale or likely impact of the proposal does not justify a full Transport Assessment.

The scope should reflect the development and its location. It may include the existing highway and transport context, access arrangements, parking and servicing, opportunities for walking, wheeling, cycling and public transport, likely trip generation, road safety considerations and any measures needed to address identified issues.

Early transport planning input can identify access, layout or parking concerns before they become embedded in a scheme. Where appropriate, Fastnet can also liaise with the local highway authority or respond to comments made during the planning process.

Whether a Transport Statement is required will depend on the nature, scale and location of the development, local validation requirements and the likely transport effects. We can advise on the appropriate level of assessment and keep the work proportionate to the planning issues involved.

Fastnet prepares Transport Statements for development projects throughout the UK. To discuss a proposal, call 07529 204 168 or email info@fastnetltd.co.uk.
