With professionally qualified planners and an in-house team of specialists, we provide expert guidance on the key challenges often encountered when reviewing and securing planning permissions.
We have a strong track record in delivering wind, solar, and battery developments through every stage of the planning process, including overseeing on-site development works.
Our experience and ability to collaborate effectively with stakeholders have helped us build strong relationships with planning authorities across the country.
Site Selection and Feasibility Studies
We undertake initial planning feasibility assessments to identify the suitability of a project and determine where opportunities and constraints may exist. Our assessments consider the potential environmental impacts of a project and provide a recommendation as to whether a site has a good prospect of receiving planning permission.
