Broomhill Wood Wind Turbine

Our client owns woodland to the north of the community of Broomhill. The site is accessed via a cul-de-sac within an established residential estate consisting of housing roads, footway and with many vehicles parked on-street. The development proposal required the transportation of a 43m wind turbine, portal shed and ancillary turbine equipment including substation. The component parts would be transported via the A83 then through the local road network, including the residential estate before finally reaching the development site. Our client required preparation of Route Haul Traffic Management Plan to demonstrate the likely impact of transporting the component parts. We prepared an assessment of the route haul route using computer simulation and provided a supporting report. As the development application was already lodged with the council, rapid preparation of the assessment was a client priority.
