Amazon’s largest European fulfilment centre at the London Distribution Park, Tilbury was granted permission by Thurrock Council during 2016 and is currently under construction. The development comprises a 2.2m sq ft four storey Fulfilment Centre, which will be the largest and tallest warehouse in the UK. The scheme provides access from the Strategic Road Network (A1089) and local highway network (A126 Dock Road), along with improvements to local walking and cycling facilities. i-Transport LLP provided highways and transport advice in relation to the site layout, parking and servicing arrangements. In response to the unique and intense travel patterns of shift staff we developed an innovative Travel Plan to reduce the traffic impact on the local and strategic highway network. We worked closely with Thurrock Council and Highways England in developing the measures in the Travel Plan along with offsite highway improvements.
