Old Kent Road masterplan
Supporting UN Sustainable Development Goals
We provided input into the transport aspects of masterplanning Design Codes for the area of Sandgate Street, Verney Road and Old Kent Road within the Old Kent Road masterplan for the London Borough of Southwark.
Design codes develop the masterplan in a greater level of detail, setting out the design principles to be followed by developers to gain planning consent.
This involved working with Farrells masterplanners to review the streets and places hierarchy for the area in terms of transport and movement, mapping servicing access and routes, providing multi-modal access maps for walking, cycling, public transport, logistics and vehicular access and advising on designs for typical street sections and walking and cycling routes through green spaces.
Our work helped to plan better connections for pedestrians and cyclists to a proposed linear park along the alignment of Verney Road and improve north-south connections between Verney Road and Old Kent Road. These proposed improvements will help to revitalise Old Kent Road as a high street and allow for intensification of the development, providing homes, workplaces, shops and leisure uses.

Master planning
“We consider all of the transport elements of masterplanning alongside, and integrated with, land use planning to ensure developments are both sustainable and meet the needs of the communities they serve.”
A masterplan is a framework that directs the development of a region, area, city, neighbourhood, precinct or building. With accessibility in urban and suburban areas becoming increasingly complex and constrained, it is becoming fundamental for development to occur sustainably and to complement to the existing environment. Consequently, it is essential that transport and connectivity are integrated into the first steps of developing a masterplan to ensure that the vision and viability of a scheme are realised.
Momentum provides transport masterplanning services to understand, analyse, plan and advise a masterplan in terms of its connectivity, logistics, and transport impact. We collaborate with a wide range of public and private clients to design masterplans that facilitate accessibility by sustainable forms of transport and establish effective delivery and servicing strategies. Our approach aims to utilise space for accessibility and connectivity within a masterplan efficiently, ensure transport strategies are sustainable and suitable for all land uses and transport users within a masterplan, and achieve integration with the broader community.
