We provide expert design and drawing services before and after planning approval, working with our clients' planning teams to ensure planning permissions are realistic and deliverable.
Implementation
We produce all the necessary highway and infrastructure designs and detailed drawings to secure Technical Approval, including delivering on site.
Specialist transport planning and highway design — from feasibility to completion.
From feasibility to completion, we give developers and landowners the transport and highways advice they need to get schemes through planning — and built.
About Us
Established in 2007, Connect Consultants is a specialist transport planning and highway design practice based in Bristol. We work across England and Wales, supporting development plans and proposals from feasibility through to scheme delivery. We’ve earned a place as long-term trusted advisors to our clients — not by telling them what they want to hear, but by giving them honest, technically rigorous advice that holds up under scrutiny.
Whether you’re just starting out or scaling to the next level, we’re here to support your growth every step of the way.
How we can help you
We give straight advice. Including when the answer is no. Precision and honesty are not at odds with
getting things done quickly — they're how you avoid costly mistakes down the line. Our ethos has
kept clients coming back to us for over 17 years, across retail, residential, healthcare, infrastructure, and more.
Planning Applications That Get Through
Transport and highways issues are at the forefront of many planning proposals. We prepare assessments that focus on the specific issues that affect our clients sites – and give their schemes the evidence needed to move forward with confidence.
Complex Requirements, Clearly Navigated
Highway design and transport planning involve a lot of moving parts: local policies, national standards, highway authority negotiations. We know where the pressure points are and we work through them methodically, so nothing catches you out late in the process.
Honest Advice, Not Just What You Want to Hear
Some schemes won’t work as may be initially envisaged. We’ll tell you that early, clearly, and with a view to finding a route that does work — because that’s more valuable than a report that tells you everything is fine when it isn’t.
Our Services
Connect Consultants brings together transport planning and highway design as a unified discipline, giving clients a single point of expertise across every stage of a project — from early feasibility through to delivery.
Transport Assessments
A Transport Assessment is a detailed study that measures how a new development will affect local traffic, safety, and public transport. It proves to planners that a development's traffic can be managed and shows how the scheme encourages walking, cycling, and sustainable travel
WCHARs (Walking, Cycling and Horse-Riding Assessment and Review)
Walking, Cycling and Horse-Riding Assessment and Review (WCHAR) applies to highway schemes on motorways and trunk roads. They evaluate existing route safety for pedestrians, cyclists, and equestrians, to help identify opportunities for improvements.
Swept Path Tracking
Swept path tracking (or analysis) is a computer simulation that models the exact footprint and body overhang of a vehicle as it makes a turning manoeuvre. It provides visual evidence that essential vehicles like refuse trucks, delivery HGVs, and fire engines can safely navigate junctions and layouts.
We love working with our clients
We'll tell you no when no is the right answer. That honesty has made us a trusted advisor to some of the UK's largest retailers, developers, and planners since 2007.
