JMP developed a Section 278 scheme in partnership with TfL to permanently close the southern side of the Aldgate gyratory at the interchange between two key radial routes (A11, A13) and the Inner Ring Road in London to release land for development. The northern and eastern links were converted to two-way operation, requiring the installation of three new traffic signal junctions, four new pedestrian crossings and changes to two other signal junctions. The scheme also included the development of a new urban park.
Developer Projects
Aldgate Gyratory Changes and Park
2006 - 2010
Tishman Speyer Properties
The work forms a significant part of the Aldgate Masterplan to bring about the wholesale regeneration of this part of central London. The project was shortlisted for the 2010 Highways Excellence Award, Major Project Category.
Barking Riverside
2007 - 2009
Barking Riverside Ltd
JMP were the appointed street designer for the first two stages of the Barking Riverside regeneration project, a 150ha regeneration site at the heart of the Thames Gateway. We have brought our knowledge to ensure the creation of high quality yet functional streets, shared surfaces, car and cycle parking, public and private spaces, step-free designs, integration of ELT/DLR infrastructure and interchanges into street space.
Following our successful collaboration on the Barking Riverside project, JMP have been further engaged to provide urban design and transport infrastructure skills for a second brownfield site in Barking town centre, formerly occupied by the Linton Estate. Both schemes are under construction.
Bioethanol Plant, Saltend
2010
Vivergo Fuels Ltd
JMP prepared a Transport Assessment in support of a planning application for a proposed Bioethanol Production Plant at Saltend, Hull. The project involved consultation with three main stakeholders, East Riding of Yorkshire Council (the planning authority), neighbouring Hull City Council and the Highways Agency, in addition to local parish councils. The scope of works included consideration of the impact of both the construction and operation phases of the development along the A63(T)-A1603 corridor. A critical issue was agreeing an appropriate condition to restrict HGV movements along a congested section of the A63 during identified peak hours, and an independent monitoring procedure.
Planning permission was granted for the proposal and construction has commenced on site. JMP subsequently assisted in producing an addendum report on the construction traffic levels and the resultant impact on the highway network, as the anticipated numbers of construction employees increased significantly from the initial estimates.
Centre Park, Warrington
2005
Maro Developments Ltd
JMP produced a transport assessment for a mixed use development on the Centre Park site in Warrington. Extensive negotiations had failed to agree a suitable highways solution to help deliver the development. JMP therefore recommended that a Vissim model as the most appropriate tool for assessment of the proposals, and also would provide a method of visually demonstrating to all parties the impact of the proposals and of the any improvements identified.
The model demonstrated that the development proposals could be adequately accommodated in traffic terms, and illustrated that signal improvements proposed by JMP would improve the effectiveness of the highway network.
Chelsea Barracks - Development Planning
2010 - Date
Qatari Diar
Transport planner JMP has been appointed by Qatari Diar to provide transport consultancy services in connection with the new vision for the Chelsea Barracks site redevelopment in London.
The Masterplan, being created by Dixon Jones, Squire and Partners and landscape architects Kim Wilkie Associates, is based on traditional London streets, squares and gardens. It includes a mix of houses and apartments, also local shops, a boutique hotel, community sports facility and a medical centre. Lower-level car parking areas will also be provided.
The Transport Assessment details additional research that was undertaken to take into account the range of dwellings proposed on the site ranging from 1 bedroom flats to large family houses. The research has enabled robust calculations concerning the travel patterns of future occupants to be undertaken. Vehicle trips have been assessed using micro-simulation software, while public transport use has also been evaluated in detail, mapping individual journeys across London. The Transport Assessment is accompanied by a Full Draft Site-Wide Travel Plan to promote and encourage sustainable travel.
Planning application was submitted in December 2010.
Poplar Farm, Grantham
2008 - 2009
Buckminster Estate & Norwich Hub Ltd
JMP produced a Transport Assessment and Travel Plan to accompany an outline planning application for a residential development of 1800 dwellings with a local centre. The assessment of traffic impact was undertaken using the Grantham SATURN model, with additional local junction modelling. The project included a significant amount of pre-application discussions with South Kesteven Council, Lincolnshire County Council and the Highways Agency.
Planning permission was granted for the proposal and the developers are investigating the next stages, including discussions with Lincolnshire County Council for a design brief for the Masterplan area.
