Western Community Hospital Extension
Based in the Millbrook area of Southampton, Western Community Hospital provides important community and mental health services for people across the city. Solent NHS Trust set out to redevelop one of the hospital¡¯s existing wings into a three-storey, 50-bed purpose-built rehabilitation unit. To support their planning submission, they engaged our team to deliver transport planning, noise, and air quality studies.
We focused on improving how the existing parking provision was managed. The hospital sits in a residential area and has no space to extend the available parking. After engaging with employees to determine their current means of travel to the hospital, we assessed how to influence future travel patterns and behaviours to encourage other means of travel, alleviating pressure on existing parking. From these efforts, we developed a transport statement and travel plan for the application as well as a site-wide travel plan for the whole hospital.
We delivered our work in close collaboration with planning consultant Vail Williams, who led the planning application, and architect Sonnemann Toon. We also oversaw the delivery of the ecology and landscaping statements from Tyler Grange.
Ultimately, Solent NHS Trust secured planning permission and was able to increase access to an important healthcare provision in the community while reducing the impact on the surrounding area.

I believe that unlocking development is most successful when transport planning is embedded within a problem-solving multidisciplinary team.
