Happy New Year! 2025 is promising to be an interesting one with the announcement of the ‘New Town’ locations (expected by July), a new NPPF and increased support for renewables.
Energy and infrastructure, that’s what we’re about. Get ahead this year and speak to our Surveyors, Planners and Engineers for advice.
Pipelines and PADHI Zones Can Significantly Affect Your Site |
But they don’t have to. If you’re dealing with a pipeline ask us about the options. The zones can sterilise swathes of land and the guidance doesn’t adequately consider strategic sites. We’ve successfully challenged the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and enabled the delivery of hundreds more houses. Let us do the hard work for you: understanding your legal rights, negotiation with operators, testing diversion options, obtaining pre-application advice from the HSE, loss assessment and compensation claims. What’s the Development Potential of Your Site? Wondering about residential or battery storage use? We can reach a conclusion based on a thorough planning analysis and understanding of site constraints. We’ll flag the important considerations: the decision-making framework and precedent, environmental, landscape and heritage designations and on-site features such as utilities infrastructure. Speak to us about the various options including desktop appraisals and constraints plans. New Connections We offer comprehensive utility reviews to assist with your development’s planning applications, masterplanning, site sale and project management. Whether you require budget estimates or high level reports, we can include everything from capacity checks and site constraints (on- & off-site), to diversion costs and multi-utility analysis.
