We were appointed by Retirement Villages to support a scheme for an extra care retirement village comprising up to 84 units to the west of London Road, Albourne. We prepared a Transport Statement and Travel Plan to support the planning application, which was refused in 2019. We subsequently acted as expert witness to support a planning appeal for the scheme.
Following the preparation of a Proof of Evidence and subsequent expert witness provided by TPA at the appeal, the Inspector determined that “…the appeal scheme would be relatively sustainable in terms of location to minimise the need to travel…” In combination with evidence given by other team members on other matters, the Inspector chose to allow the appeal.
