A project may need one service or several. The scope should follow the evidence and the proposed development, not a standard sequence of reports. We only recommend the next step where the evidence justifies it.
Acquisitions, disposals, refinancing and lease events need environmental risk separated from background noise, quickly and in terms lenders, insurers and solicitors can act on.
Planning conditions follow the Environment Agency’s LCRM framework. Most sites don’t need every stage, and a good consultant tells you when you can stop.
Establish whether the site’s history creates a credible risk, and whether investigation is justified.
Resolve the uncertainties that matter to the proposed development.
Define proportionate measures for the risks that genuinely need action.
Establish and compile the evidence needed to close out remediation.
Foundations, drainage, groundwater, gas protection and mining stability each pose a defined question. These services answer it with design-ready evidence, alongside or independently of the contaminated land process.
Projects rarely follow a fixed sequence. We scope investigations around the decision that needs to be made, whether that is acquiring a site, securing planning, resolving a design uncertainty or discharging a condition.
