Leisure - Apex Transport Planning and Engineering

We provide transport and engineering advice on leisure developments including sports facilities, museums, hospitality uses, visitor attractions and event-based venues.

Our assessments recognise that travel demand can vary significantly by time of day, event type and seasonality. We consider event-day travel patterns, parking provision and accessibility by sustainable modes, alongside the management of car parks, access arrangements and internal circulation.

Our approach considers how vehicles access and move within sites, ensuring efficient circulation and reducing the potential for impacts on the surrounding highway network. We can design the site access, car park layouts and circulation routes to deliver this.

We help clients demonstrate that proposals are practical, well-managed and aligned with planning policy requirements, supporting safe operation, positive visitor experience and robust planning outcomes.

Projects

Apex provided transport planning and highways advice to support an outline planning application for the Cardiff Peninsula development, a major mixed-use waterfront regeneration scheme.

The proposals comprise approximately 1,000 residential apartments, 300 co-living units, 11 townhouses, a 220-bed hotel, around 30,000 sqm of employment space, alongside retail, food and drink, community and leisure uses. The proposed masterplan will create a new and vibrant waterfront development for the community to live, work, relax and visit.
