Vauxhall Car Showroom, Vantage Park
As part of a larger redevelopment of a former goods yard off Phoenix Way constructed in early 2000’s to stimulate generation in the area, a purposed built car showroom was constructed for Vauxhall cars.
As part of the planning process, Vauxhall were committed to delivering a Travel Plan to encourage sustainable amongst its staff and visitors. Encon Associates carried out a baseline travel pattern survey and collated the results to inform the targets and measures to be included in the Travel Plan.
The Results
The document was submitted to Coventry City Council and ultimately approved to enable Vauxhall to occupy the building on time and ensure they continue to meet their obligations to encouraging sustainable transport.

We have been delighted with the service from Encon Associates throughout and for their help in achieving a BREEAM Very Good rating on both phases of our Bishop Auckland retail park project.
The online IES TaP system meant I was able to keep a close eye on how things were progressing from start to finish – an excellent facility.
Finally, thanks for your own personal contribution and guidance which was invaluable – very much appreciated. I’d have no hesitation in recommending Encon Associates and look forward to working with you on future projects.
