Environmental Impact Assessment, Planning and Permitting

CONTACT US
Securing Permits and Licenses  

We understand the challenges of effective environmental planning and provide services to engage with stakeholders for collaboration, preferably from the start of the project.  Our environmental planning team helps develop plans in urban, energy, transportation, residential, or public infrastructure schemes that comply with local legislative provisions. 
We guide projects through the necessary compliance steps in planning and design, permitting and licensing, construction and operational phases. Our proactive liaison with local environmental regulators and planning authorities ensures that projects deliver the required compliance and maximise opportunities.  Our teams have in-depth knowledge of the environmental permitting regulations governed by environmental agencies in the UK, Ireland and the Middle East.  We can provide environmental impact assessment reports for large scale projects and smaller developments, including the specialist inputs that feed into the final analysis - such as geological, hydrogeological, ecological and surface water components. 

We provide environmental impact assessments, environmental planning and licensing and permitting for various clients across a range of sectors:

  • Development projects (infrastructure on land and sea)
  • Industry and manufacturing companies (steel, oil and gas, plastics)
  • Utilities (water, electricity, oil, gas)
  • Renewable energy industry 
  • Waste sector (closed landfill sites, USC plants, disused quarry sites)
  • Aquaculture (farms)
  • Government agencies, regulators and councils

Our team assists clients in waste management, including waste facilities, permitting and licensing, providing specialist input for environmental impact assessments, e.g. geological, hydrogeological and surface water components.  Our team also prepare feasibility studies and planning applications for the redevelopment of closed waste sites.  

We believe that early engagement in a project, coupled with the right advice and support, can help navigate pitfalls, gain approvals for permits and licenses and enhance sustainable project design.  We secure new permits and variations for all types of developments, including land and sea, energy and waste.  Our expertise in this field spans the entire project lifecycle, from initial environmental screening and scoping, planning and legal, compliance auditing, and monitoring to closed site management for clients in the waste sector.
