Velocity is consultancy of talented and creative Transport Planners, Waste Management, Highway and Drainage Design Consultants who since 2017 have been progressing our mission of "building everyones favorite consultancy". Our approach is simple... to provide high quality advice and intelligent solutions to our clients, deliver their objectives and exceed their expectations.
Our Directors formed Velocity bringing together over 120 years of experience. However, having seen the effects of working within both large multi-national organisations and multi-disiplinary organisations on the ability of proffesionals to deliver a high quality service befitting of their skills, Velocity was founded on the premise of doing things differently. This means providing an environment that aligns with and enables our values to be strongly upheld.
The relationships we form with clients, co-professionals and colleagues are paramount to our success, and we thrive on being collaborative and innovative. We recognise that the relationships we form with clients and co-professionals underpin the success of the services we deliver.
We deliver comprehensive transport planning services tailored to a wide spectrum of clients and projects. Our expertise supports private developers, local authorities, and infrastructure providers through every stage of a project — from initial due diligence and feasibility studies, through planning applications and design development, to implementation and ongoing operational support.
Whether it' s shaping a new development, improving connectivity, or ensuring sustainable transport solutions, we provide clear, practical advice that helps projects move efficiently and successfully from concept to completion.
The production of Transport Statements and Transport Assessments is often seen as being our core deliverable, however, we are specilaists in adding value through influence in the design process working collaboratively with design teams and local highway officers to achieve the best results for our clients.
Transport Planning services:
Velocity are able to provide a variety of AI-Powered solutions to the transport industry via our partners Goleyo who pioneer cutting-edge digital innovations and disruptive technologies to accelerate automation and transform sustainable, cooperative and intelligent transportation systems into the global standard. The solutions we can offer are based on dedicated technology using artificial intelligence, machine learning, advanced data analysis, and the leverage of virtual data.
GoModel is an example of one solution which we can deploy; a cloud - native, AI - driven, data - rich ultimate microsimulation platform.Its cloud - powered land use simulation tool revolutionizes urban planning by assessing the real - world impacts of new developments on traffic, pedestrians, energy consumption, and emissions.It harnesses the power of Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Deep Learning to deliver accurate predictive scenarios in a fraction of the time and cost of traditional modelling methods, and creates a strategic scale model, whilst providing microsimulation level detail.
We are also utilising AI to generate bespoke research and analysis tools to enhance and expediate our advice to clients, in particular enabling us to spot where potential areas of mitigation may need to be addressed or considered very early in the process; whether that be for feasibility or planning.
We are aligned with world-class building certification provider ActiveScore and ModeScore in a strategic partnership that sees Velocity deliver all design advice and consultancy services to those seeking to achieve recognition with ActiveScoreand ModeScore.
ActiveScore Certification is the definitive accreditation for Active Travel provision in real estate.It assess and rates buildings using a transparent methodology developed in partnership with urban planners and experts from the Active Travel and cycling industry.An ActiveScore rating clearly communicates a building’ s future - proofed credentials to prospective tenants, partners and occupiers.
ModeScore Certification broadens the assessment to the wider topic of connectivity whilst ActiveScore remains embedded as part of the assessment criteria.A ModeScore Certification provides demonstration of a buildings sustainable transport credentials.
We provide highway and civil engineering infrastructure design and management services to support the delivery of projects associated with retail, residential, commercial, industrial and mixed-use developments.
We have extensive experience in successfully delivering a wide range of high - profile transport, development infrastructure and multi - disciplinary projects, providing our clients with solutions to challenging site and design problems through our specialist working knowledge of local, regional and national planning and design policies and relationships with highway authorities.
We provide advice and practical design solutions throughout the project life cycle, from initial concept design and feasibility studies, negotiating planning consents and adoption detailed design and associated technical and safety approvals, procurement and construction phases, through to client handover and highway authority adoption.
Our Highway Infrastructure Services include:
Velocity provides flooding and drainage services for the full project lifecycle from due-diligence and pre-purchase advice through to detailed design and on site sign-off of Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) through verification reports.
Due to the combined impacts of climate change and urbanisation, flood risk is becoming an even greater threat to people and the built environment.As such, development must consider the need to address all sources of flood risk and manage the resulting surface water runoff.Our team has a strong understanding of the requirements of National and Local planning requirements and adoptable drainage design and, through a proactive and‘ thinking outside the box’ approach, we aim to achieve successful outcomes for our Clients.
The team at Velocity has extensive experience in supporting development sites from the planning stage through to construction by offering the following services:
We provide specialist waste advice built on significant real-world experience in the design, planning, and day-to-day operation of waste systems within residential, mixed-use, and commercial developments. Our team’s practical insight ensures that our strategies are not only policy-compliant but also deliverable, cost-effective, and fully aligned with the realities of managing waste in operational developments.
We help support developers and design teams from the earliest stages of a project through to construction, occupation, and long - term operational management by liaising with local authorities to shape waste strategies that maximise the potential of development scheme design.This includes enabling high - quality public realm, supporting sustainable travel choices such as walking and cycling, and integrating practical waste solutions without compromising the user experience or design vision.Whether the focus is on optimising waste storage and collection, reducing ongoing disposal costs, or embedding circular economy principles, we deliver clear, actionable strategies that enable sustainable outcomes and help projects meet planning and policy requirements.
While the production of Operational Waste Management Strategies is a core deliverable, our true strength lies in adding value during the design and planning process.We collaborate closely with architects, planners, and contractors, drawing on our operational experience to ensure waste solutions work seamlessly for building managers, occupants, and collection contractors once developments are in use.
Waste Management Services:
Pre-Demolition Audits are a key part of our circular economy service offer. We assess existing structures to identify materials that can be reused on-site, repurposed for other projects, or recycled into higher-value applications, helping to move materials up the waste hierarchy and reduce reliance on landfill. Our audits provide clear, practical recommendations for material recovery, enabling clients to maximise reuse opportunities, minimise disposal costs, and demonstrate leadership in circular economy and resource efficiency practices. This approach not only supports compliance with planning and sustainability regulations but can also contribute to embodied carbon reduction targets and more sustainable procurement strategies.
