The BBC news reports consent granted by Melton Borough Council to Charles Church’s application for 48 homes on land at Hilltop Farm, on the edge of Melton. Our transport planning work assessed the existing use of the site, once partly used for tyre recycling, and the proposed use, allowing us to conclude that the change would not materially alter traffic conditions on the surrounding road network. Nevertheless, the access required careful design, along with a speed survey and vertical alignment drawing to demonstrate that adequate visibility could be delivered despite the undulating main road.
