Planning applications
Why have
a report?
It’s an increasing requirement to provide statutory reports and assessments in support of Planning applications. This service is aimed at any person or organisation submitting or considering a planning application, or indeed carrying out a construction project and it’s suitable for Private individuals, Landowners, Developers and Builders alike.
Planning Applications require a variety of Environmental Assessments and Technical Reports to ensure issues are taken into consideration when determining new Planning Applications. There’s now a myriad of subjects that a planning officer can require more detailed information on, these reports are only usually acceptable when carried out by qualified 3rd party.
So, if you’re looking to make a planning application for a new dwelling, convert an outbuilding or carry out more significant works such as site redevelopment, demolition of existing buildings etc then you will doubtless need to supply some of the reports listed here!
Our work includes providing Contaminated Land Reports, Ecology and Habitat Surveys, Arboricultural and Tree Surveys, Flood Risk Assessments, Water Management Statements, Archaeological Investigations, Topographical Surveys, Noise Impact Assessments, Air Quality Assessment, Geotechnical reporting and more
A Contamination Report, also known as a Contaminated Land Report (CLR) or Contaminated Land Survey, provides advice to landowners and developers as to whether there is, or is likely to be, any contamination on a site where development is proposed. Contamination can occur naturally, accumulate over time or be present due to a single event.
Most sites will have some contamination but, in most cases, the levels will not pose a risk. The purpose of the Contamination Report is to identify what contaminants are present and, given the proposed use for the site, whether they pose a risk to human health or the environment.
We want you to start on your project, so promote the best chances of development through our contamination surveys.
Once you’ve secured your planning permission, you’ll potentially have conditions to discharge. We can assist in providing follow on assessments and actual works, such as Archaeology and Historic Building Recording, to discharge those conditions. During construction Building Regulations require certain assessments in order to ensure compliance, for example Sound Insulation & Air Tightness Testing and SAP calculations are needed on certain forms of development.
