C-Space City Road

Helical appointed TPHS to deliver the transport solutions on this site which included a major refurbishment and an additional floor of accommodation to the building. A particularly challenging element of the project was removing the existing off street servicing space to create a new reception, meeting space and extensive secure cycle parking at ground floor level. The servicing was moved to a dedicated on street lay-by following detailed surveys of existing use of the parking and loading in the vicinity of the site. The work for planning also included a PERS audit (pedestrian environment condition survey) to identify gaps and deficiencies in the pedestrian infrastructure in the vicinity of the site.

Woking – PRS

TPHS were appointed to advise Cortland Developments on traffic and transport matters on their PRS scheme of 320 units on the former BHS site in Woking Town Centre. Detailed feasibility assessments were undertaken on whether the site could be built using modular construction within such a constrained environment and small site footprint. The conclusion was that it was not possible due to the height of the towers proposed and the small storage space and turning area on site for the pods.
