Description

The New Forest National Park Authority (NFNPA or 'the Authority'), in partnership with Hampshire County Council (HCC), together known as 'the partners' is seeking a consultant / consultancy to prepare an Active Travel feasibility Study for new crossings on the A35 in the New Forest National Park, Hampshire.

The purpose of the feasibility study is to identify options to improve road safety and reduce severance of active travel routes caused by traffic movements on the A35 road through the New Forest. The study will need to look at the provision of new walking and cycling (and where appropriate equestrian) crossing facilities at three sites on the A35 west of the village of Lyndhurst, within the County of Hampshire. The study will also need to consider a fourth site where conditions for cyclists need to be improved and road danger reduced, the section of road is called Old Railway (C10), known locally as the 'Holmsley Straight Mile' between the Old Station Tea Rooms and Brockenhurst Road. The roads and site locations referenced here are identified in maps further within this document.

Hampshire County Council is the Highway Authority for all the roads identified above. The recommended design options will need to be in accordance with their policies and guidance documents and engagement with their officers will be essential.

The study will need to identify appropriate interventions, consider all relevant constraints and risks, then recommend preferred options with concept designs and realistic costings. The final study should be completed by 30th March 2025, unless the partners agree to an extension. Regular updates including a written monthly progress report will be provided to the partners throughout the study period.
