Expert Witness & Transport Planning
Following refusal of planning permission by LB Hounslow on the grounds of highway safety concerns expressed by both borough and Transport for London officers we were instructed to prepare specialist expert evidence to support a planning appeal. As part of our work we conducted a forensic analysis of accident data in the vicinity of the appeal site over a period of time when the previous adverts were in place, and at other existing roadside advertising sites across London.
Our analysis demonstrated that ‘Driver Distraction – Outside Vehicle’ was not a factor in any of the accidents analysed and on that basis we were able to conclude that the proposed adverts would not adversely affect highway safety. The Inspector agreed with our findings and allowed the appeal.
