Travel Plans

Our Expertise

To deliver sustainable travel and transport, planning proposals need to work in harmony with long-term strategies and processes. Working alongside clients and highway authorities allows us to create bespoke travel plans.

Travel plans are put in place to ensure that the appropriate measures can be introduced to provide sustainable transport to a development.

Our experienced team is on hand to provide you with the right solutions and to prepare comprehensive travel planning advice.

Our knowledge of the Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM) also allows us to undertake travel plan assessments in accordance with this standard.

The aim of this method is to ensure that a project fits the best standard for sustainability in regards to the design and building specifications.

Matching the compliance of the BREEAM assessment could be a crucial branch of your project’s journey and for demonstrating the sustainability of the development. Utilising our services within this area ensures that we can provide you with the highest level of knowledge, as well as progressing your application quickly and efficiently.

Our design experience covers many different types of junction, access and pedestrian improvements including roundabouts, traffic calming, pedestrian facilities, signalised junctions, pedestrian crossing installations, priority junctions, mini-roundabouts and cycleways. Eddisons offers a comprehensive range of detailed design services utilising the latest software design tools in the highway design process including PDS, MX, Windes, Civil 3D, PDS Sign and Autotrack. Our detailed design services include 3D setting out, drainage design, signage design, road markings, construction material specification, preparation of construction drawings, cost advice, project management and preparation of as built drawings.
