Public Transport Planning
for New Development
MM Transport Planning helps developers to obtain consent for their proposed development. We advise on the provision of public transport connectivity that meets local authority requirements and is financially viable for the developer.
We achieve this through a market-focused, business-driven approach to service planning. We aim to meet the standards laid down by local planning and transportation authorities at minimum cost to the developer.
1. We review Local Development Plan policies and Local Transport Plans to identify development control policy requirements, and build relationships with local authority officers to identify their public transport expectations for each development location and type.
2. We seek opportunities to build on existing public transport provision, reducing the incremental resource requirement and thus the cost to serve proposed new development.
3. We develop public transport propositions that aim to achieve high patronage, to earn good ticket sales revenues.
Thus, we reduce the whole-life cost exposure for the developer. This supports the commercial viability of their proposed development.
