Crest Road NW2
05 April 2004
The site had remained vacant for several years and consisited of a backland area which had in the past used for garage and un-regulated open parking as well as a storage yard for highway maintenance plant and equipment. An earlier application for the erection of new housing on the site had been refused on grounds of over-development and poor access arrangements.
Re: Engineering was commissioned to negotiate an improved access arrangement with the local authority. Site investigations revealed that the previous uses would have given rise to greater levels of traffic flow than could be generated by the re-development proposals.
Re: Engineering prepared a TIA, together with traffic generation estimates, which supported the argument for retaining the existing access point and allowing the development to proceed. The scheme was granted outline consent in March 2004.
For further information please contact Re: Engineering via our on-line contact form.
Lordship Lane SE22
05 April 2004
The scheme being proposed was the re-development of a former light industrial/warehousing building in Lordship Lane into a mixed use of commercial and residential units, with a bar/restaurant use being provided on the ground floor.
Local residents had raised concern over their perceived lack of on-street parking available to support these mix of uses, particularly during the evening and week-end periods. In the absence of detailed parking surveys being made available by the local authority, Re: Engineering undertook parking availability surveys at short notice, prepared and submitted a Traffic Impact Assessment and has proved the case in support of the application.
The parking surveys and Traffic statement were supported, however the scheme required further changes in relation to amenity issues and the scheme was shelved. A fresh application has been submitted for a Health and Fitness centre on the site operated by ES PhysioTherapy, who have commissioned Re: Engineeering to undertake the Traffic & Transport statement in support of their application.
UPDATE - The ES PhysioTherapy proposal has received planning consent.
