WCHAR Reports

We're one of just a few consultancies able to offer you Walking, Cycling & Horse-Riding Assessment & Review (WCHAR) reports, guided by document GG 142.

WCHAR reports are often requested by highways authorities, including National Highways and local highways authorities, in relation to highway schemes on the strategic and local highway network.

What is a Walking, Cycling & Horse-Riding Assessment & Review (WCHAR)? 

A Walking, Cycling & Horse-Riding Assessment & Review provides an evidence-based assessment of the potential needs of non-motorised users. It ensures they are fully considered as part of the design process.
The report is a key consideration in the design of new junctions to serve development. It is used as a supporting document within planning applications alongside Transport Assessments, Travel Plans and Road Safety Audits.
The reports supersede former guidance relating to Non-Motorised User Audits. As the Government seeks to encourage walking, cycling & horse-riding through national and local policies and plans, the WCHAR process is a key tool in doing this.
Hub Transport Planning has provided many WCHAR reports to help clients successfully secure planning permission. We keep ourselves at the forefront of Transport Planning to ensure you stay ahead of the game in terms of reacting to potential and actual policy change.
