Transport and traffic advice you can depend on
Transport and highways considerations are a critical part of almost every development project. Whether you are bringing forward a residential scheme, a commercial development, or a mixed-use proposal, understanding the impact on the local transport network, and demonstrating that your development can be accommodated, is a requirement of the planning process.
BTG Eddisons provides a complete highways, transport, and traffic advisory service, supporting clients from the earliest stages of a project through to planning approval, detailed design, and construction. Our transport consultants have established relationships with local highway authorities across the UK, enabling us to navigate the planning process efficiently and secure the right outcomes for our clients.

What does our highways and transport advisory service cover?
Our service covers the full range of transport planning and highways consultancy that development projects require, including:
- Transport assessments and transport statements
- Travel plans and travel plan monitoring
- Traffic modelling and junction capacity assessments
- Feasibility studies and transport viability appraisals
- Planning application support and transport evidence
- Section 278 detailed highway design
- Cycle lane and active travel design
- Expert witness and planning appeal support
Whether your project requires a standalone transport statement or a fully integrated transport assessment with detailed highway design, our team has the technical expertise and local authority relationships to deliver.
What types of projects do we support?
Our transport consultants work across a wide range of development types, including:
Residential developments
From small housing schemes to large strategic allocations, we provide transport assessments, travel plans, and Section 278 highway design to support planning applications and satisfy highway authority requirements.
Commercial and employment developments
Office, industrial, logistics, and retail proposals all generate transport impacts that need careful assessment. We quantify trip generation, assess network capacity, and work with highway authorities to agree appropriate mitigation measures.
Mixed-use developments
Town centre regeneration, urban extension, and brownfield development schemes typically involve complex transport considerations. We advise on trip generation, modal split, and sustainable accessibility measures, and help design transport solutions that support the planning case.
Logistics and distribution
High-trip-generating uses require robust transport evidence and close engagement with highway authorities. Our team has experience advising on large-scale logistics and distribution schemes, including HGV routing strategies and junction improvement design.
Public sector and infrastructure
We work with local authorities, NHS trusts, education establishments, and public sector bodies on estate transport strategies, travel plans, and transport planning input to capital projects.
How do we engage with local highway authorities?
Effective engagement with the local highway authority (LHA) is one of the most important factors in securing planning approval for development with transport implications. A poorly managed pre-application process can lead to objections, delays, and conditions that are difficult to discharge.
Our transport consultants have built working relationships with highway authorities across the UK over many years. We use those relationships to:
- Agree the scope of transport assessments and statements at pre-application stage.
- Negotiate appropriate mitigation measures and avoid unnecessary highway improvements.
- Secure agreement on travel plan requirements and monitoring obligations.
- Manage Section 278 agreements from design through to construction sign-off.
Where a planning appeal is required, our team has the experience and technical knowledge to provide expert witness support on transport and highways matters.
