What can I use a swept path analysis for?

A swept path analysis is often required to make sure that there is sufficient access for vehicles and safety for pedestrians and workers on developments in both the country and in towns. Some of the main uses of an SPA include: 

  • Ensuring safe access to residential developments for car users and service or emergency vehicles to meet Highways Development Control requirements
  • Maximising available land for development with accurate planning and data 
  • Setting out vehicle paths for service and delivery areas in retail or commercial projects
  • Displaying correct entry and exit paths from proposed or relocated parking spaces
  • Designing new access and junctions to existing roads to ensure they are safe and visible to all users
  • Creating specific non-standard vehicles such as abnormal loads from vehicle data to check swept paths.

What projects need a swept path analysis?

Many new developments repurpose old buildings or tight location in town centres or heavily trafficked roads. This means that, increasingly,  local councils needing to be satisfied that the vehicles that will have access to the site can drive in and out safely.

We can help you get ahead of the curve by providing you with this information early on can help you maximise your design to build the greatest area possible while reassuring the council that cars and trucks can arrive on site with no issues. 

If you’re considering a residential development, you’ll probably need specific data to ensure that the refuse or emergency vehicles used by your local council can access and exit your site in forward gear to ensure you get planning permission. They’re also used to make sure that the parking provision is fit for purpose and easily accessible – if you don’t have this data, the planning department are likely to refuse your application. 

Don’t run the risk of refusal!
