Eddisons has expanded its Transport Planning and Design team with the appointment of two new graduate transport planners as a trio of infrastructure projects are given approval.

Sheffield Hallam University graduate Rhiannon Cowan, who has a master’s degree in Urban Planning, joins the team having previously undertaken a placement period with Eddisons, while Hanna Wyn Jones, with a first-class degree in Urban Planning from the University of Liverpool, also joins the transport planning team, which is based in Eddisons’ Manchester office.

Associate director Mark Cleary said: “We are really pleased to welcome our new transport planners Hanna and Rhiannon to the team. Eddisons prides itself on continuously attracting and developing the best young talent and their enthusiasm and fresh thinking are essential to the firm’s ongoing success.

“In the past couple of months alone, we were delighted to see our clients gain planning consents for three particular projects across the North West and Yorkshire that we provided transport and infrastructure advice on, and it’s great to be starting 2025 with momentum and a busy pipeline of work for the coming months.”

Eddisons’ transport planning and design team were integral to service station operator Moto’s recent successful application to redevelop its Barton Park Truckstop at junction 56 of the A1 motorway near Darlington. After consent was given by North Yorkshire Council last month, the facility is now set to be redeveloped as a full motorway service area, built on brownfield land.

In Stockport, the Planning Inspectorate has this month approved Hollins Strategic Land’s redevelopment of the disused 44-acre Gatley Golf Course, overturning Stockport Council’s decision to refuse the development. Eddisons provided Hollins Strategic Land with transport planning advice on the housing scheme.

The Eddisons team also advised on transport and infrastructure for Lovell Partnerships’ 115-home scheme on a brownfield site in Port Sunlight, approved by Wirral Council just before Christmas.

Now a 17-strong team, Eddisons’ growing transport planning and highway design consultancy provides detailed highways design, transport and traffic advice to predominantly private sector clients, helping them maximise the commercial value of land and assets throughout the planning and design process
