Chaffinch Road
Egg Transport Planning advised on a planning application for a self-storage facility that was proposed off Chaffinch Road in Sunderland.
Client
The Harris Group
Project Type
Commercial Car Park and Delivery Logistics
Project Details
The site accommodated a warehouse which had most recently been used as a tool-hire shop but was standing empty. The proposals involved changing the use of the building to a self-storage facility and adding extra floor space with ‘The Store Room’ identified as the end user.
We advised on the layout of the site by re-designing the car park to provide safe routes for pedestrians. Through sept path assessments, we also demonstrated that HGVs could use the turning areas.
We produced a robust Transport Statement that supported the scheme and demonstrated that the proposed development was in accordance with planning policies.


OUTCOME:
The highway authority offered no objection to the proposals and the planning application was approved in April 2023.
