Travel Planning
For us, travel planning means more than just words on paper
It means planning for the regular movement of large numbers of people in the most green, sustainable and economic way possible, putting people at the heart of design, and maximising opportunities for active transport modes so that users of a new scheme have real travel choices.
For new developments, our objective is always to secure the best outcomes for our client and the eventual occupiers. For corporate consolidations and relocations, we provide professional support to your estate managers so they can meet the specific needs of your organisation.

“Motion was very effective at explaining to the planning authority that traffic on the main road would not be adversely affected.”
Andrew Collin, Guildford House Manager, Allianz
“We were pleased with the service and expertise provided by Motion in providing a detailed and easy to navigate Travel Plan.”
Vicki Bowers, Senior Technical Coordinator, Bellway Homes Ltd.
“Motion displayed a very deep understanding of the issues related to local highways and vehicle movements. The team’s local knowledge and network of useful contacts was invaluable. They acted as a very effective, comprehensive one-stop shop for all our transport and drainage requirements.”
Brian Sheridan, Britannic Developments
“Motion’s consultants were reliable, efficient and professional. They worked in partnership with us to successfully demonstrate that the site was well connected and provided convenient access to local amenities and public transport.”
John Gard, Development Manager, U+I
“The Motion consultants connected well with the relevant authorities. Their tenacity and professionalism helped drive the scheme to a positive conclusion.”
Andrew Munton, Planning Director, Reside Developments
“We feel very fortunate to have in Motion a ‘best in class’ advisor on all transport and highway matters that are generally outside our comfort zone.”
Paul Weston, Levanter Developments Limited
“The Motion team adapted quickly to the changing requirements of the project, proving an effective negotiator with the county council.”
Andrew Munton, Reside Developments
“This was a complicated project within a constrained site, requiring a careful balance between the local authorities and TfL. Motion worked extremely hard to facilitate meeting everyone’s requirements.”
Emma Prichard-Selby, Founding Director, The Vesta Group Ltd
“The Motion team was professional and helpful, producing more detail to satisfy the council and managing ongoing monitoring to ensure compliance. The work has also helped to provide the best experience for residents living in the marina.”
Katie Sullivan, Managing Director Brighton Marina Group Ltd
“Motion has a track record of getting results and the team was involved throughout the planning stages and appeal process. With their support, we were able to demonstrate the proximity of the proposed development to local amenities, particularly when travelling by bicycle.”
Jonathan Greenberg, Planning Manager, Woolbro Group
“Motion took the time to understand our business model and what we do.”
Kevin Fong, Head of Business Operations, Ozone Ice Rink
“The Motion team leveraged strong connections with the various authorities. Their planners and engineers demonstrated they are able to get things moving by bringing together all of the relevant decision makers.”
Jake Walton, Design manager, Frasers Property UK
“Motion was invaluable in helping us understand the flow of people and traffic around the scheme, which could have presented challenges with convergence of rail, tube, bus, pedestrian, cycle and superhighway links at its apex. This, combined with a footfall of 26 million people a year, meant it was vital to have the right team to help us identify the potential for the scheme.”
Michael Whitney, Development Surveyor, Frogmore
“Motion brought to the project a critical alignment between local authority requirements and commercial reality. This was essential in striking the right balance between policy and practice and ensured a positive outcome for all.”
Matthew Robinson, Associate Director, hgh Consulting
“As the application for 125 dwellings went to appeal, Motion had already built a very robust, high-quality package of offers to address all outstanding matters. They were instrumental in securing engagement from all the relevant bodies.”
Andrew Munton, Planning Director, Reside Developments
“Motion certainly faced a challenge due to the location of the sites, the proximity to residential areas and the types of flexible use class required. The team did well to model, analyse and interpret complicated vehicle movement numbers, managing to allay council concerns, sufficient to grant consent.”
Chris Leonard, Development Director, Bloom Developments
