Professional Partner Projects

JMP is commissioned to assist in the promotion of a strategic mixed-use site on land to the north of Bognor Regis in West Sussex. JMP produced a transport assessment, travel plan, drainage strategy and flood risk assessment to support the promotion of the site and subsequent planning application.

JMP investigated a number of different transport solutions to mitigate the impact of the proposed development, whilst seeking to improve sustainable travel choices for the town. The options assessed included provision of significant transport infrastructure improvements and measures to improve accessibility to sustainable travel modes including minimising the need to travel.

The strategy which was developed was a synthesis of targeted, cost effective highway capacity improvements and urban design principles which minimised travel demand whilst enabling improvements to public transport, walking and cycle infrastructure.

JMP was appointed by Transport for London to carry out the detailed design and implementation of a scheme to improve Henlys Corner on the A406 North Circular Road. Working with our professional partners, Clancy Consulting, and Geotechnical Consulting Group, the team carried out site investigation and designed an embedded sheet pile retaining wall to retain the widened embankment carrying the A406, together with two new steel sign gantries. Adoption of a sheet pile wall solution, screened with planting, resulted in a significant cost saving over a conventional embankment, as well as reducing the scheme footprint and environmental impact on adjoining woodland.

JMP have been appointed to create a design code, incorporating open space and landscape strategies, and to develop a new masterplan for the King’s Drive, Eastbourne. JMP’s input encompassed both the development of an overall vision for the layout and the articulation of the open spaces, as well as technical aspects such as street layouts, service and emergency access, car parking and traffic calming solutions. The design code and masterplan responded to local constraints including the site’s rural setting and local noise issues. The masterplan has also successfully integrated well with neighbouring settlements, whilst ensuring the scheme compliments nearby open space.

JMP acted as independent advisors and modellers in the development of a traffic model of the western area of Newcastle - from the city centre to the A1 - concentrating on the West Road and Nuns Moor Road corridors. The modelling concentrated on the impact of the proposed redevelopment of the General Hospital site into a large mixed use retail, office and health centre complex, and on ensuring that the bus priority system proposed for the corridor would continue to provide similar benefits after the introduction of both additional development traffic and substantial changes to the road network within the corridor.

The preferred development scenario was tested against a number of potential layouts. The S-PARAMICS model simulated scenarios that demonstrated that this could be achieved overcoming a key concern that the council has raised with regards to the outline application.
