HSP Consulting Engineers were appointed by Godwin Developments to apply their Four teams one solution approach to this purpose built 22 storey high rise residential apartment block located adjacent to Farm Road and Queens Road in Sheffield City Centre. With being situated in the inner central urban area of Sheffield City Centre and located in proximity to the Granville Square Junction, the site will become a landmark development once constructed; providing much needed residential housing within the city.

HSP’s Traffic & Transport team prepared both the Transport Assessment and Framework Residential Travel Plan for the development, whilst HSP’s Civils team designed the drainage strategy and undertook extensive level design. The site was challenging from both a civils and transport perspective due to the level differences on-site, whilst the scheme required extensive negotiation with the Local Highways Authority in order to deliver a successful design which provided sufficient car park provision on site whilst simultaneously providing extensive off-site mitigation in the form of alterations and additions of Traffic Regulation Orders on Farm Road.
