Transport planning across North West.
From the Lancashire coast to Cheshire and the Mersey, covering Greater Manchester and Liverpool City Region, where combined authorities shape buses and transport plans.
Local standards, one point of contact.
The right council, the right standards
Who decides the highways side depends on where your site is. We work out early whether it’s a county, unitary or metropolitan council, and apply its standards from the first sketch.
Strategic roads
Where a scheme adds traffic to a motorway or trunk road, National Highways needs to agree the evidence too. We tell you early if yours does.
Evidence sized to the scheme
A short technical note is often enough for a small scheme. We tell you what the council will actually ask for, with a fixed fee.
