The Opportunity
A privately led scheme was designed to improve access for neighbouring businesses while delivering wider highways and environmental benefits. The works included a new four-arm roundabout connecting London Road with Stonehouse Corner and a secure entrance to the client’s site via a newly built Security Gate Complex. TPI supported the project by guiding Section 278 negotiations, discharging planning conditions, advising on procurement, and preparing comprehensive tender documentation.
The Challenges
The site footprint overlapped a dense network of underground utilities, including an 8” high-pressure gas main, HV and LV power lines, water mains, and BT infrastructure. These had to be diverted before construction could begin. TPI worked closely with utility providers and stakeholders such as HS1 and Network Rail to coordinate the works and secure all required consents, ensuring the programme remained on track. stakeholders such as HS1 and Network Rail in order to obtain all the relevant permissions for the works.
The Outcome
The completed access upgrades have eased HGV congestion on London Road and improved connectivity across the area. The new infrastructure has enhanced site access and logistics, benefiting both the client and the wider business community in the surrounding area.
