Study Description
Following their purchase of the mansion house, Spectrum Properties sought to convert the former elderly care facility into private flats. The house is located within Tollcross Park, a popular green space area criss-crossed by publicly accessible paths. To support the developments planning application, we were commissioned to prepare a supporting Transport Statement with specific consideration to the management of the house’s private driveway which is also part of the areas core path network.
Our Approach
We provided a short list of possible management options that examined concepts from barrier control to unrestricted access. We agreed a best-case scenario with the client and prepared a proportionate Statement to support the developments ambitions.
Key Successes
• Rapid turnaround.
• Outcome focused solution.
• Proportionate Statement that focused on the accessibility issues.
