Director - Keith A. Berriman I.Eng., FIHE, FCIHT
I am an Incorporated Engineer, a Fellow of the Institute of Highway Engineers, a Fellow of the Chartered Institution of Highways & Transportation.
I have now worked in this specialist field of highways development management since 1975. This time has been spent in both the public and the private sector. I formed my own company in 1988, and I have been an independent consulting engineer since that time. Formerly, I was the Head of Development Control (Highways) at Essex County Council.
Since 1988 I have provided advice
to many different parties, including developers, Local Authorities,
planning consultants, architects and land owners (see client list).
During that time, I have advised on
hundreds of development projects, involving numerous national and
local clients. In the majority of the cases in which my reports have
been submitted for consideration, I have been successful in
achieving agreement with the Highway Authority.
I have advised on all types of
development proposals including, residential, commercial, leisure,
education, retail, and roadside services developments: having
advised on small and large examples of such projects. Over the
years, I have given highway and traffic evidence at many public
inquiries, including Section 78 inquiries. Local Plan Inquiries, and
Roads Inquiries.
As a consequence of working
specifically in this specialised area of highway, traffic and
transport engineering, for many years, and, “on both
sides of the fence”, I believe that I have accumulated a depth of
knowledge which few others in this field can equal. Additionally, I
am able to maintain a high level of personal service to all my
clients, with all that means in terms of responsibility and
obligation to the client.
