Momentum provided full consultancy support to help deliver seven industrial units comprising a total 28,089sqm GEA of flexible industrial use (Class E(g)(iii), Class B2 and B8) with ancillary office space, parking and associated works including creation of service yards, boundary treatments and landscaping.

Due to the location of the site, innovative and complex transport solutions were required to unlock the development to facilitate movements through the site and onwards through the wider highway network. The proposed vehicular access to the site will be primarily via the existing Goat Road access, which has been enhanced to better serve the Jewson’s site and the proposed development site through a robust junction modelling assessment, and the development of a highway design package developed by the Momentum team.

Momentum has also played a pivotal role promoting innovative sustainable solutions to serve the development site, this includes a commitment to provide an improved access to the site for pedestrians and cyclists via Drake Road.

As part of the scheme, Momentum has worked in close collaboration with key stakeholders to develop a new roundabout to replace the existing Goat Road / Carshalton Road (A237) junction. Informed by traffic modelling, the solution was welcomed at the public consultation.

Each unit is proposed to have a provision of car and cycle parking to cater for staff and visitors, in compliance with the standards set out in the London Plan (2021). In total, the proposed development would provide a minimum of 30 short-stay and 66 long-stay cycle parking spaces, and a maximum of 176 car parking spaces.

Phase 6 of the Marché Central proposes the redevelopment of the current location of the Montreal Maraichers to provide a newly built and improved pedestrian-friendly environment. Momentum’s collaboration with the design team aims to enable this sustainability objective by moving ahead with creating a people-first built environment and by reducing the internal car movements, while improving mobility. This will contribute to creating an inclusive retail experience attracting all types of visitors and providing a safe and comfortable experience.

The Momentum team collaborated with Ædifica for the future development of Phase 6 of the Marché Central. The objective of the mobility study was to quantify the future multimodal mobility generated by the site in order to develop the site’s connectivity with the surrounding neighborhoods and offer an improved pedestrian experience.

We set out several recommendations which constitute the transportation strategy supporting the sustainable and pedestrian vision for the scheme. We took the recommendations further to develop a detailed Transportation and mobility flow strategy on and around the site by setting out the forecast travel demand at different times of the day and analysing how people will travel to, from and within the site. The strategy was supported by a trip generation study, a transport specification study and an OD matrix. Momentum also advised on design elements proposed by Ædifica related to active transportation routes, surface and underground parking and access for pedestrians.

Momentum Transport Consultancy were appointed by Ocubis in 2013 to provide transport planning and highway design services for the site that previously accommodated the Norwich Union employees sports club and grounds.  The appointment also included the redevelopment of land at Griffin Lane for affordable housing with both sites linked through a common Section 106 agreement.

The main Pinebanks site had the benefit of a planning permission granted by Broadlands District Council for 231 dwellings in June 2013 but it became necessary for Ocubis to vary the access arrangements for the Pinebanks site via a Section 73 application.  It was necessary to apply for the variation of the site access planning condition so that the main housing site could operate through a single access road and not the two access roads for the extant permission where one of these would be difficult to achieve due to a long-term restrictive covenant.

The revised planning permission was achieved in 2015 which enabled a new master plan layout to be developed which Momentum supported with extensive junction capacity modelling and highway design along with further trip generation studies in line with Norfolk County Council requirements.

Omniserve, a subsidiary company of ABM, is known for providing innovative passenger, security and operational efficiency services at Heathrow and other international airports such as Dallas and Orlando airport, due in part to the use of modern tablet technology to help provide a responsive service.

Testament to our reputation for delivering high quality passenger services for some of the largest airports across the UK, Momentum supported Omniserve in their 2014 BID to operate the air-side bus services for passengers at Heathrow. Experts in this field, we developed the spreadsheet modelling tool that included forecast growth, variations in schedules and the demand forecasting across a standard day and for peak requirements.

All of which contributed to a successful bid submission which resulted in Omniserve being appointed to service Heathrow for 5 years.

The Stage is a mixed-use development located in Shoreditch comprising of a number of buildings surrounding the archaeological remains of the Curtain Theatre. Its construction takes place across a number of phases requiring a complex logistics strategy that takes account of the changing layout throughout the build programme as well as other construction activity in the area and neighbouring uses.

Momentum provided construction logistics support services to Multiplex during the early works phase of the project including the production of a Construction Logistics Plan. Led by our team of planners and engineers, we successfully undertook vehicle tracking for the site layout and various access points to determine constraints, appropriate gate layouts and slab design. Momentum also undertook vertical tracking of the site to ascertain ground and height clearance when accessing the building during construction.

This informed the site layout to incorporate suitable loading and turning areas. Momentum proactively engaged with the London Borough of Hackney to agree the logistics strategy and arrange required road closures, highway licenses, parking suspensions and enabling highway works, including the necessary improved highway design. Momentum also supported the pit lane preparation providing preliminary highway design works, tracking and pit lane layout drawings. These were prepared in liaison with the London Borough of Newham to ensure sufficient precautions were in place to minimise the predicted disruption during the course of construction among the neighbouring roads and arteries surrounding the scheme.

During 2013 we supported Wembley Stadium with integrated operational transport plans, highway operations and the management of pedestrian movement for all major events hosted at the stadium – and the 2013 Champions League Final was no exception.

The senior team at Momentum was responsible for the development and delivery of the successful Transport & Mobility plan for the inaugural UEFA Champions League Final at the new Wembley Stadium in May 2011.

The event was considered so successful that UEFA returned for the 2013 Final as part of the Football Association’s 150th anniversary celebrations. Momentum was delighted to be appointed to prepare and deliver the Transport & Mobility Plan for the final on the 25th May 2013, working with our UEFA and Wembley Stadium colleagues, the London Airports, other transport stakeholders and the Police Services.

The plan included developing close working relationships with the semi-finalist teams and with the official travel clubs of the finalist teams. Our team were responsible for overseeing the transport strategy on the day of the final and supervising a team of Transport Volunteers. We are delighted the 2013 Transport & Mobility Plan has been as successful as for UEFA Champions League Final 2011.

Beginning with our involvement on the original bid in 2005, through to the planning and operations, the Momentum team were involved at every stage of the London 2012 Olympics.

Our team was responsible for generating demand forecasts for the Games Family, spectators and workforce. Our role during the London Olympics also involved developing plans for the proposed Park & Ride facilities whilst working in partnership with the London Underground to implement enhanced strategies to improve passenger and pedestrian movement among stations within the local and wider Stratford area.

Momentum is working with Ocubis on the conversion of a vacant plot in the vibrant area of Shoreditch to provide a new hotel providing up to 145 rooms which will also provide an exciting new restaurant which will be open to the public.

The site is constrained by neighbouring buildings and access to the site is limited to the Paul Street frontage. As a result, there is limited space to deliver an efficient hotel operation alongside an active frontage that enhances the local area.

Our initial involvement on the project included providing transport advice, design guidance and further operational support on the Paul Street hotel project. We helped to develop an initial off-site servicing access strategy, which included servicing vehicle swept path assessments, and conducted a technical review and survey of on-street parking conditions surrounding the development site.

We were later recommissioned by the client to provide support for the submission of a formal planning application for the site redevelopment. Our workstreams have included the preparation of a Transport Assessment (TA), Trip Generation and Impact Assessment, Framework Delivery and Servicing Plan (DSP), Interim Travel Plan (TP) and Construction Logistics Plan (CLP).

The main challenge in this project is the space limitations and access constraints around the site. Therefore, we have developed an on-street delivery and servicing strategy for the hotel, which integrates into the existing highway network using the spare parking capacity demonstrated in parking beat surveys to justify this arrangement.

The planning application was submitted in June 2018 and received resolution to grant planning consent by London Borough of Hackney’s Planning Committee in February 2019

Momentum is commissioned as the transport consultancy on a major mixed-use development comprising of approximately 700-900 dwellings and commercial and retail units. The development proposals are to redevelop the existing commercial and retail units into a significant residential provision spread across numerous building blocks, with provision of retail and flexible commercial space at ground floor. The key challenges of the site involved the large number of bus services present around the site and the permanent pedestrianisation of the High Street. Provision of a new town square has made it necessary to reroute a number of bus services within a complex local network.

A significant public realm offering within the site includes a new public square, in line with the aspirations of LB Croydon as well as pedestrianisation of a section of the existing carriageway and improved pedestrian connectivity of the site. Momentum have provided design support for the site layout and access together with a delivery and servicing strategy that makes most efficient use of the on-site space and on-street provision.

As part of the work for this project, Momentum was involved within extensive bus re-routing and service analysis and traffic microsimulation. Using Linsig and VISSIM modelling software, an assessment of the development impact on the nearby junction and highway network. This included the impact of the proposed changes of bus routes, pedestrianisation of part of the high street and additional traffic generated by the development. As part of this task Momentum prepared TfL approved/audited traffic models to assess the surrounding highway network and discussion with TfL officers regarding suitable design solutions and preferred options.

Momentum are preparing a full suite of supporting planning documentation including a Transport Assessment prepared in full consideration of TfL’s Healthy Streets approach; a Framework Delivery, Servicing and Waste Management Strategy, an Outline Construction Logistics Plan and Framework Travel Plan.

Buckingham Green is a mixed-use development on the door step of St James Park. Retail units, office space and luxury apartments are located across three state-of-the-art buildings spread around a new public square, making a positive contribution to the rich urban grain of the London’s political centre. Momentum has advised Buckingham Green’s developer, London & Oriental, throughout the design and application process, working collaboratively with award-winning architects Fletcher Priest and landscape architects Gustafson Porter + Bowman.

Momentum assisted with the development of the proposals, including devising a servicing and waste management strategy to minimise the impact of on-street deliveries and ensure that the new pedestrian permeability effectively connects with the myriad of enhanced pedestrian routes emerging along the Victoria Street corridor.

Momentum’s team assisted with the public realm and undertook highway design from planning through to construction, developing a design which ensures improved pedestrian connectivity across the site which integrates seamlessly with the surrounding streets, including by transforming Palmer Street from an overlooked alley into a generous pedestrian centre, much more akin to increase footfall and dwell times, whilst benefiting from the retail offer by exposing far more frontage to the significant pedestrians flows drawn to and from St James’s Park Underground station.
