From Concept to Consent and Beyond

We are a specialist Environmental, Planning and Development Management Consultancy. We guide clients through every stage of their development journey - from early design concepts and development feasibility, to full site design, securing regulatory approvals, and the ongoing operation and compliance of existing sites. We provide tailored advice, design and project management solutions that reduce risk, accelerate timelines, and deliver cost-effective outcomes.

Planning a new development or expanding an existing site? We’re here to help.

Founded in 2005, we are a specialist environmental, planning, and development management consultancy supporting businesses and developers to deliver projects that shape communities and provide essential infrastructure. Our core expertise is in Waste Management, Minerals and Renewable Energy, with a proven track record of successful project delivery in these and other industrial, commercial and leisure sectors.

Our team brings together specialists from diverse professional backgrounds, expert problem-solvers who collaborate to deliver solutions built for long-term success. From securing planning consent for a wind farm to obtaining an environmental permit for a waste transfer station, we make sure every project progresses smoothly, stays on schedule, and meets budget requirements.

What makes us different

What sets us apart is our in-depth market knowledge and forward-thinking approach. By addressing compliance and operational requirements from the earliest stages, we help clients avoid costly redesigns and delays later in the process. This pragmatic and proactive way of working leads to smoother approvals, reduced risk, and real savings in both time and cost.

We also understand the added complexity of working in sectors such as waste, renewables, and extractive industries. These projects often face public scrutiny, political sensitivity, and challenging regulatory demands. With extensive experience navigating political, community, and compliance landscapes, we work closely with stakeholders, planners, and regulators to build trust, resolve issues early, and achieve positive, deliverable outcomes, even in the toughest environments.
