Mixed Use

 

 

Waterman Boreham has worked on a wide range of mixed use schemes, including those of significant regional importance, and as such has an in-depth understanding of the issues that need to be addressed.

Boreham understands that mixed use developments require an integrated project approach to satisfy a spectrum of different needs. Each element of the scheme will generate different travel and traffic demands, which may require different mitigating measures and may need to meet different planning requirements.

It is important that the development’s strategy ensures that the scheme is accessible by a range of transport modes. This maximises the viability of the development from a transportation perspective and ensures compliance with local and national transport policies.

Integral to the success of such schemes is the provision of an appropriate amount of car parking. This should take into account opportunities for shared parking facilities between the scheme’s different uses. Together with the development of efficient internal car park layouts, this delivers maximum operational efficiency and ensures that all parts of the scheme enable access to car parking at appropriate times.

The servicing strategy of mixed use developments needs to respond to different demands placed by different uses and vehicle types. Working with architects, Boreham ensures that all vehicle types can safely and efficiently access the development while minimising the impact on the developable floor area and scheme layout.

Our experience means that we understand the key relevant issues that need addressing and can provide our clients with expert transportation and highway advice in the development of mixed use scheme proposals.

Our Approach

Boreham has strong relationships with many client organisations that have developed mixed use schemes. This means that we have an unrivalled ability to work as part of a multi-disciplinary team when formulating scheme designs and supporting those schemes through the planning process.

Our network of offices throughout the UK and Ireland has given us a detailed understanding of local issues and close working relationships with local highway authorities, planning authorities and passenger transport executives. This is vital in gaining support of the statutory authorities for mixed use schemes.
