Environment
How do you protect and enhance the environment while making the most of its development potential? What happens when your scheme designs attract public interest and widely varying opinions? With time against you, can you find your way through complex legislation and environmental obligations to secure planning consent?
Environmental issues are at the heart of our wide-ranging work. Major corporations, landowners, developers, utilities and local authorities all call on us to help increase the value of their land portfolios in a sustainable way – with expert impact assessments and cost-effective advice in key areas.
Our specialists combine extensive experience of UK and International planning and regulatory systems with innovative designs for sustainability and environmental conservation. Even when we’re dealing with designs for controversial developments, we help our clients to take account of public opinion and resolve concerns while still delivering high standards of environmental performance and return. We work across all of the sectors of the business including property and development, energy, utilities, mining, waste and sports.
