SUSTAINABLE
DEVELOPMENT SERVICES

As a response to CLIMATE CHANGE and the UK's SPATIAL PLANNING FRAMEWORK we have broadened our consultancy to provide an integrated PLANNING AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT APPROACH.

This allows our clients to respond to the NEW PLANNING REQUIREMENTS in the UK, which focus on Global resource led priorities, community participation and sustainable growth.

Our new services are a response to emerging planning policies on SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT and SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES. This policy, to be contained in LOCAL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORKS and updated GOVERNMENT GUIDANCE will provide requirements for schemes to provide a high standard of sustainable design and construction. It now needs to be ensured that any development project should not comprise the environmental resources available for future generations.

We do hope that you will look at the services below. Please could you read these in conjunction with our PLANNING CONSULTANCY SERVICES.and COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION SUPPORT.

Please do not hesitate to CONTACT US should you require further information.

On-site energy generation is a 'big thing' in the planning world now, with a fast growing number of Council's requiring that 10% of energy use is provided in this way (this level will undoubtedly get higher as time progresses). It is thus important that each project is assessed for the best possible renewables specification, and that the adopted generation methods used (e.g. wind turbines, heat pumps, solar (PV) cells) achieve the required 10% level. Smaller scale - often residential based - on-site energy generation is often called MICRO-GENERATION.

We have had experience in a planning context of BREEAM assessments, including the Code for Sustainable Homes.
