Expanding Your Business: Optimising Site Expansion for Growth

The Challenge: Overcoming Traffic and Parking Concerns for Business Expansion

Our client, a rapidly growing business in the export sector, needed to expand the buildings on their spatially constrained production site. The business was experiencing a surge in orders, and the existing facilities were no longer sufficient to meet demand. However, the consenting authority raised concerns related to traffic management and parking requirements for the proposed expansion. To move forward with the project, the client sought expert advice to address these issues effectively.

Our Approach: Spatial Optimisation and Traffic Management Solutions

TPC’s experienced consultants took a detailed approach to the site’s constraints and spatial requirements. We conducted a comprehensive traffic impact assessment and analysed the site’s infrastructure needs. By understanding the flow of vehicles and the spatial limitations, we developed a spatial overlay that optimised the building footprint without compromising operational needs.

Key elements of our approach included:

  • Optimising vehicle movement: We designed efficient vehicle pathways to ensure smooth traffic flow across the site, minimising congestion.
  • Managing parking requirements: Our team established a vehicle parking plan that met the needs of the business while ensuring compliance with local regulations.
  • Developing key infrastructure solutions: We ensured that all traffic and parking concerns were addressed in a way that supported the expansion's long-term growth.

By integrating traffic engineering principles with spatial planning, we provided a tailored solution that balanced the business’s growth objectives with the necessary compliance and safety standards.


The Outcome: Streamlined Consent Process and Business Growth

Thanks to our detailed analysis and tailored solutions, the consenting authority granted consent on a non-notified basis, significantly accelerating the approval process. This allowed our client to move forward with their site expansion without the delays typically associated with public consultations.

The successful expansion has since supported the business's rapid growth, enabling them to meet increasing export demand and increase their production capacity. Our client continues to prosper, and the efficient traffic and parking systems we implemented have contributed to a smooth operational flow at the expanded site.
