Kendal College Engineering Block, Milnthorpe Road, Kendal

The Phase 1 expansion of Kendal College included the building of a new engineering block within the existing campus complex. Modal was commissioned to prepare the Transport Assessment Report required to accompany the Planning Application. The Study included carrying out a traffic survey of a number of junctions within the vicinity of the College, assessing the local highway for impact and considering the accessibility of the site to students travelling by car, bus, train and those walking. Following the submission of the Report, Modal was tasked with liaising with Cumbria Highways. The scheme was granted Planning Approval without the need to carry out any Highway improvements.
