TPP is working on the Houghton Regis urban extension project and Central Bedfordshire Council (CBC) resolved to grant outline planning permission. The 262-hectare site is located to the north of Houghton Regis and Dunstable and the approved development will create a sustainable community of up to 5,150 new homes with 202,500m2 of additional development including retail, employment, leisure, community and education facilities. The urban extension delivered the A5-M1 Link Road, new M1 J11A and Woodside Link which will bring benefits to the wider area which include relief of traffic congestion in the nearby town centres.
TPP has carried out extensive transport work as part of the team that secured outline planning consent. This has included assisting with the Illustrative Masterplan to create walkable neighbourhoods, producing the Transport Assessment, transport work for the Environmental Statement, liaising with the local councils and the Highways Agency, undertaking walking and cycling audits and producing a bus strategy for the development.
