Callidus provided a Transport Assessment, a transportation chapter for an Environmental Statement and other planning support documentation for these sensitive projects – waste facilities are rarely welcomed by local residents!  

Approval of the proposals was negotiated with the Highways Agency who were protective of the impact upon the A30 trunk road. This included junction capacity and safety assessments of the site access and A30 junctions,  together with  a queuing  analysis of the Scorrier facility to ensure that queues generated by people using the facilities could be contained on the site.

Analyses were also carried out and strategies proposed for preventing  undesirable car and lorry routings to the facilities via unsuitable country lanes. This required a detailed examination of expected trip origins and destinations for both the refuse collection vehicles and and local residents using the facility as a refuse disposal facility.

The Scorrier project included a refuse transfer facility which required a special analysis on the movement of HGV’s and specialist plant operating in the facility. 

A detailed design for  the accesses to the sites and other associated off-site works was carried out to obtain a approval  from the highway and waste  authority.
