TPP has been working on the Houghton Regis urban extension project since 2006 and Central Bedfordshire Council (CBC) resolved to grant outline planning permission in September 2013. One of the key employment opportunities in the urban extension is a large B8 (storage and distribution) unit which will have a floorspace of up to 125,000m2 . TPP has carried out extensive transport work for this project and for the large warehouse in particular, we produced concept access and layout designs, assessed the trip generation and reviewed the potential operation of the site, liaised with the local councils, and worked on improving the accessibility of the site by walking, cycling and public transport. Work is currently ongoing on the next stages of this development.
