Planning is one of the biggest challenges for architects working in Northern Ireland and one of the most problematic aspects of the planning process is transport. To help members make the most of the current system and to achieve the best outcomes for our built environment, RSUA has organised a workshop with leading transport consultant Karen McShane, ‘Planning: Getting off the transport roundabout’.
Course Content
• Overview of the transport assessment
• Development Control Advice Note (DCAN) 15
• Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB)
• How to communicate effectively with Transport NI – in writing, by phone and face-to-face
• Maximising the benefit of Pre-Application Discussion with Transport NI
• The role of guidance, conflicts between different guides and how to approach a project that is not in line with an element of guidance
