Following the successful joint venture between English Partnerships, the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham and JMP on the Barking Riverside team, JMP provided urban and infrastructure design consultancy services to a town centre site in Barking, formerly occupied by the Linton Estate.

The new William Street Quarter will see 500 residential units and a local business enterprise centre among other facilities. Based on a masterplan by Maccreanor Lavington architects, JMP worked with Karakusevic Carson Architects, Gillespies landscape architecture and muf architecture/art to bring the scheme to planning application stage by the end of 2008.

JMP provided streetscape and home zone design advice to the team, as well as technical highway design advice, drainage, lighting, parking solutions, services and other infrastructure design.

Following a previously successful planning application for this site in Bury town centre, JMP was commissioned by Thornfield Properties to undertake a revised mixed-use development on the same site. The £350 million scheme proposals include 1.6 million square foot of retail, leisure, food and drink, a medical centre and car parking.

In highway terms, the major difference between the proposed scheme and the previous scheme, which had planning approval, is the closure of The Rock to through traffic and the construction of a major new link road along the eastern edge boundary of the site. The Transport Assessment for the scheme investigated the design of a new link road set along the eastern boundary of the development, the redesign of existing junctions and the design of a new retail park access.

JMP is commissioned to provide development planning and highway design support to an emerging masterplan for a 10 hectare site in Horsham, West Sussex. The site is expected to generate about 80-100 new residential units, a network of generous open spaces and will add a crucial link to the Rights of Way network of the forthcoming South Downs National Park.

JMP has been tasked to provide strategic transport advice, formulating the Transport Assessment and Travel Plan, as well as designing transport infrastructure improvements.

JMP has also recently been commissioned to provide support to the promotion of a site west of Radlett, Hertfordshire, for land representation within the LDF. In support of the land promotion, JMP has undertaken an access feasibility study for the site. The study considers the potential to provide traffic calming measures, and also to provide an evaluation of vehicular and pedestrian access options.

The 372 hectare Western Expansion Area of Milton Keynes was the largest development commission JMP had undertaken for JJ Gallagher and will eventually support approximately 6,550 homes, some office, light industrial and warehousing use, secondary and primary schools and a local centre on a greenfield site to the west of Milton Keynes.

JMP was responsible for the detailed infrastructure design and technical submissions, including the entire length of the main city street (approximate length 3 km), along with some 5 km of secondary roads and all footpaths/cycleways (Redways), numerous junction improvements and liaison with other design team members. In addition, we developed a surface and foul water drainage strategy and completed the detailed design, reviewing the Transport Assessment produced by others, negotiated public transport provision and assisted in production of a movement and road hierarchy design code that formed the basis of the infrastructure design. The detail design encompassed off-site highway work and on-site infrastructure design.

In order to facilitate the regeneration of the Elephant and Castle area, the London Borough of Southwark identified a series of residential led redevelopment sites, ranging from 18 to 300 units to accommodate existing residents displaced from the Heygate Estate.

JMP was commissioned to provide transport input to the planning applications for 10 of the sites. Given the sustainable location and constrained nature of the sites, input focussed on ensuring access to a range of local services and public transport facilities. Parking provision was limited to disabled and car club spaces only, however provision was made to allow servicing at each of the sites.

Design input was also provided to potential streetscape and public realm improvements to enhance the environment surrounding individual sites. JMP also obtained the Stopping Up Order required to develop one particularly constrained site. The sites are now all under construction, with first occupations anticipated in 2011.

JMP were appointed as lead designers for Section 38 and 104 elements of the design of this two phase 1,200 house development on the former Peugeot site in Coventry. JMP were involved from the initial stages and carried out full horizontal and vertical preliminary and detailed highway design to DB32 and Manual for Streets; drainage detail design to Sewers For Adoption 6th Ed., construction drawings, specification, Section 38 and 104 approvals, 3-D earthworks using PDS, and vehicle swept path analysis.

JMP liaised extensively with Coventry City Council and Severn Trent Water Limited to secure statutory approvals and provided regular design office support during the construction phase. JMP’s consultancy services ensured that technical approvals and consents were obtained for each land parcel on time and to budget in order to effect the contract delivery dates.

Throughout the commission, JMP has provided information to the client to enable cost effective and sustainable solutions to be constructed, and have provided value engineering advice throughout the development process.

JMP is providing expert advice on highways and drainage matters to the Church Commissioners for England for three sites to the north of Peterborough. The initial two sites are for residential-led development totalling approximately 3,500 new homes; with a further site being promoted for commercial business development.

The first site has received planning consent and JMP recently produced detailed designs for the spine road running through the site as well as developing an approved site-wide drainage strategy in order to address reserved matters in phase 1. The second site is adjacent to the alignment of a new bypass under construction by the Highways Agency. JMP has undertaken strategic assessment of this site including potential access arrangements, trip generation and options on additional land uses.

The third site is currently being taken through the LDF core strategy process. JMP has assisted with the promotion of this site through the evaluation of its access, archaeological and flood risk impact.

JMP was commissioned to provide transport and highway consultancy advice for a proposed food development with a petrol filling station within Failsworth District Centre, Oldham. The scheme involved the upgrade of a priority junction to a signalised junction together with a new link road connecting Oldham Road and Ashton Road West, allowing vehicular movement over the Rochdale canal bridge, which at that time was only used by pedestrians.

JMP produced a number of Transport Assessments on the various access options and a Travel Plan to support the planning application for each scheme option. JMP has subsequently undertaken the detailed design of the highway works for each of the approved schemes, and JMP co-ordinated all the sub-contractors for signals, street lighting, highway drainage and bridge design work.

Working closely with Oldham Metropolitan Borough Council, JMP obtained the necessary approvals and Oldham Property Partnership will enter into a Section 38/278 agreement with Oldham MBC as part of the works.

JMP prepared a Transport Assessment and Travel Plan in support of a successful hybrid planning application for a mixed use residential development in Croydon. The team worked to a challenging programme on this project with only 6 months to prepare the application. JMP worked closely with other members of the design team to provide design advice regarding both the internal road layout and access arrangements.

The development proposals include a leisure centre, approximately 180 residential units and a children’s education centre. The development site runs alongside the A23 Purley Way which required close liaison with Transport for London regarding the transport aspects of this scheme.

JMP maintained close liaison with both London Borough of Croydon and Transport for London throughout the development of the masterplan and transport strategy for the site in order to address any concerns raised.

JMP was the transport and travel planning lead for the proposed masterplan regeneration scheme by Old Ford Housing Association for the Mardyke Estate (Orchard Village), for which planning consent was recently obtained for Phases 1-3.

The existing estate’s access problems are compounded by very poor levels of public transport accessibility. The Estate is directly served by one bus route that runs along its main access road which is narrow and has acute s-bends. This road layout precludes two-way bus flow.

Working closely with the project’s highways contractor, JMP advised on infrastructure improvements including the realignment and widening of the main access carriageway to allow two-way bus flow.

The evidentiary basis of the Transport Assessment report was derived from site audits, desk-based research and independently commissioned surveys which included car park occupancy counts and junction turning counts. The draft Residential Travel Plan was informed by a household transport survey designed and conducted by JMP.

JMP was commissioned by Durkan New Homes to prepare a transport assessment and travel plan in support of this mixed-use development, which includes 320 residential units, office space and a retail frontage.

The site is located adjacent to Ilford Gyratory, a critical part of the town’s road network. In order to correctly assess the impacts of the development and the proposal to realign and signalise the existing bus stand, JMP prepared a VISSIM model in accordance with TfL’s modelling requirements.

JMP undertook extensive negotiations with the highway authorities (TfL, LB Redbridge) in order to demonstrate the impact of the development and to agree suitable servicing arrangements for the site. This was particularly challenging as a significant slope across the site limited the number of vehicular access points.

JMP provides Access Consultancy services, working with architects, developers and town planners to help devise accessible design solutions for clients and to articulate these through Access Statements.

The Access Statement forms an integral part of the Design and Access Statement, which are required to accompany all planning applications (with few exceptions).Depending on the scale and nature of the development, JMP often consults with key stakeholders, such as Local Authority access officers, access groups and local communities, to establish user needs and discuss any particular access issues.

Two aspects of access are considered; Vehicular and Transport Links, and Inclusive Access. By considering these together, the Access Statement explains movement patterns through the development site and shows how the proposals will provide convenient and inclusive access for all. JMP has considerable experience in the assessment of movement opportunities for Non Motorised Users, especially through the use of the Pedestrian Environment Review System (PERS).

Expert Access Consultants at JMP have prepared and reviewed Access Statements for a wide range of schemes, including major regeneration sites, transport infrastructure proposals, schools, leisure and health facilities.
