in the success of the William Street
Quarter development. This is described
WiLLiaM sTreeT QUarTer
in the preceeding chapters. The following
chapters descibe the Phase 1 Planning
Application.
Following the successful joint venture between
English Partnerships, the London Borough of
Barking and Dagenham and JMP on the Barking
Riverside team, JMP provided urban and
infrastructure design consultancy services to a
town centre site in Barking, formerly occupied by
the Linton Estate.
The new William Street Quarter will see 500
residential units and a local business enterprise
centre among other facilities. Based on a
masterplan by Maccreanor Lavington architects,
JMP worked with Karakusevic Carson Architects,
Gillespies landscape architecture and muf
architecture/art to bring the scheme to planning
application stage by the end of 2008.
JMP provided streetscape and home zone design
advice to the team, as well as technical highway
design advice, drainage, lighting, parking solutions,
services and other infrastructure design.

5. The rock, bUry
Following a previously successful planning
application for this site in Bury town centre, JMP
was commissioned by Thornfield Properties to
undertake a revised mixed-use development on
the same site. The £350 million scheme proposals
include 1.6 million square foot of retail, leisure,
food and drink, a medical centre and car parking.
In highway terms, the major difference between
the proposed scheme and the previous scheme,
which had planning approval, is the closure of The
Rock to through traffic and the construction of a
major new link road along the eastern edge
boundary of the site. The Transport Assessment
for the scheme investigated the design of a new
link road set along the eastern boundary of the
development, the redesign of existing junctions
and the design of a new retail park access.

6. ceMeX ProjecTs
JMP is commissioned to provide development
planning and highway design support to an
emerging masterplan for a 10 hectare site in
Horsham, West Sussex. The site is expected to
generate about 80-100 new residential units, a
network of generous open spaces and will add a
crucial link to the Rights of Way network of the
forthcoming South Downs National Park.
JMP has been tasked to provide strategic transport
advice, formulating the Transport Assessment and
Travel Plan, as well as designing transport
infrastructure improvements.
JMP has also recently been commissioned to
provide support to the promotion of a site west of
Radlett, Hertfordshire, for land representation
within the LDF. In support of the land promotion,
JMP has undertaken an access feasibility study

The 372 hectare Western Expansion Area of
Milton Keynes was the largest development
commission JMP had undertaken for JJ Gallagher
and will eventually support approximately 6,550
homes, some office, light industrial and
warehousing use, secondary and primary schools
and a local centre on a greenfield site to the west
of Milton Keynes.
JMP was responsible for the detailed infrastructure
design and technical submissions, including the
entire length of the main city street (approximate
length 3 km), along with some 5 km of secondary
roads and all footpaths/cycleways (Redways),
numerous junction improvements and liaison with
other design team members. In addition, we
developed a surface and foul water drainage
strategy and completed the detailed design,
reviewing the Transport Assessment produced by
others, negotiated public transport provision and
assisted in production of a movement and road
hierarchy design code that formed the basis of the
infrastructure design. The detail design
encompassed off-site highway work and on-site
infrastructure design.

8. eLePhanT & casTLe
In order to facilitate the regeneration of the
Elephant and Castle area, the London Borough of
Southwark identified a series of residential led
redevelopment sites, ranging from 18 to 300 units
to accommodate existing residents displaced from
the Heygate Estate.
JMP was commissioned to provide transport input
to the planning applications for 10 of the sites.
Given the sustainable location and constrained
nature of the sites, input focussed on ensuring
access to a range of local services and public
transport facilities. Parking provision was limited
to disabled and car club spaces only, however
provision was made to allow servicing at each of
the sites.
Design input was also provided to potential
streetscape and public realm improvements to
enhance the environment surrounding individual
sites. JMP also obtained the Stopping Up Order
required to develop one particularly constrained
site. The sites are now all under construction, with
first occupations anticipated in 2011.

10. PeTerboroUgh
JMP is providing expert advice on highways and
drainage matters to the Church Commissioners
for England for three sites to the north of
Peterborough. The initial two sites are for
residential-led development totalling approximately
3,500 new homes; with a further site being
promoted for commercial business development.
The first site has received planning consent and
JMP recently produced detailed designs for the
spine road running through the site as well as
developing an approved site-wide drainage
strategy in order to address reserved matters in
phase 1. The second site is adjacent to the
alignment of a new bypass under construction by
the Highways Agency. JMP has undertaken
strategic assessment of this site including potential
access arrangements, trip generation and options
on additional land uses.
The third site is currently being taken through the
LDF core strategy process. JMP has assisted with
the promotion of this site through the evaluation of
its access, archaeological and flood risk impact.

11. faiLsWorTh
JMP was commissioned to provide transport and
highway consultancy advice for a proposed food
development with a petrol filling station within
Failsworth District Centre, Oldham. The scheme
involved the upgrade of a priority junction to a
signalised junction together with a new link road
connecting Oldham Road and Ashton Road West,
allowing vehicular movement over the Rochdale
canal bridge, which at that time was only used by
pedestrians.
JMP produced a number of Transport Assessments
on the various access options and a Travel Plan to
support the planning application for each scheme
option. JMP has subsequently undertaken the
detailed design of the highway works for each of
the approved schemes, and JMP co-ordinated all
the sub-contractors for signals, street lighting,
highway drainage and bridge design work.
Working closely with Oldham Metropolitan
Borough Council, JMP obtained the necessary
approvals and Oldham Property Partnership will
enter into a Section 38/278 agreement with
Oldham MBC as part of the works.

12. Waddon, croydon
JMP prepared a Transport Assessment and Travel
Plan in support of a successful hybrid planning
application for a mixed use residential development
in Croydon. The team worked to a challenging
programme on this project with only 6 months to
prepare the application. JMP worked closely with
other members of the design team to provide
design advice regarding both the internal road
layout and access arrangements.
The development proposals include a leisure
centre, approximately 180 residential units and a
children’s education centre. The development site
runs alongside the A23 Purley Way which required
close liaison with Transport for London regarding
the transport aspects of this scheme.
JMP maintained close liaison with both London
Borough of Croydon and Transport for London
throughout the development of the masterplan
and transport strategy for the site in order to
address any concerns raised.

13. Mardyke esTaTe
JMP was the transport and travel planning lead for
the proposed masterplan regeneration scheme by
Old Ford Housing Association for the Mardyke
Estate (Orchard Village), for which planning
consent was recently obtained for Phases 1-3.
The existing estate’s access problems are
compounded by very poor levels of public transport
accessibility. The Estate is directly served by one
bus route that runs along its main access road
which is narrow and has acute s-bends. This road
layout precludes two-way bus flow.
Working closely with the project’s highways
contractor, JMP advised on infrastructure
improvements including the realignment and
widening of the main access carriageway to allow
two-way bus flow.
The evidentiary basis of the Transport Assessment
report was derived from site audits, desk-based
research and independently commissioned
surveys which included car park occupancy counts
and junction turning counts. The draft Residential
Travel Plan was informed by a household transport
survey designed and conducted by JMP.

JMP was commissioned by Durkan New Homes
to prepare a transport assessment and travel plan
in support of this mixed-use development, which
includes 320 residential units, office space and a
retail frontage.
The site is located adjacent to Ilford Gyratory, a
critical part of the town’s road network. In order to
correctly assess the impacts of the development
and the proposal to realign and signalise the
existing bus stand, JMP prepared a VISSIM model
in accordance with TfL’s modelling requirements.
JMP undertook extensive negotiations with the
highway authorities (TfL, LB Redbridge) in order
to demonstrate the impact of the development and
to agree suitable servicing arrangements for the
site. This was particularly challenging as a
significant slope across the site limited the number
of vehicular access points.

15. access sTaTeMenTs
JMP provides Access Consultancy services,
working with architects, developers and town
planners to help devise accessible design solutions
for clients and to articulate these through Access
Statements.
The Access Statement forms an integral part of
the Design and Access Statement, which are
required to accompany all planning applications
(with few exceptions).Depending on the scale and
nature of the development, JMP often consults
with key stakeholders, such as Local Authority
access officers, access groups and local
communities, to establish user needs and discuss
any particular access issues.
Two aspects of access are considered; Vehicular
and Transport Links, and Inclusive Access. By
considering these together, the Access Statement
explains movement patterns through the
development site and shows how the proposals
will provide convenient and inclusive access for
all. JMP has considerable experience in the
assessment of movement opportunities for Non
Motorised Users, especially through the use of the
Pedestrian Environment Review System (PERS).
Expert Access Consultants at JMP have prepared
and reviewed Access Statements for a wide range
of schemes, including major regeneration sites,
transport infrastructure proposals, schools, leisure
and health facilities.
