Environmental Planning for Renewable Energy Projects

Planning a renewable energy installation requires consideration of appropriate technology and of increasingly important ecological requirements to prevent penalties, excess costs and project delays.

Sun Power for Chester WWTW

The project to install solar panels at Chester’s water treatment plant required extensive survey and mitigation work and a biodiversity net gain design to provide improvements for local nature

Science Park Solar Power

A significant amount of our work on this project was investigating whether badgers from the local nature reserve were making use of the proposed site.

Renewable Energy Centre for Jarrow

Proposals to build an energy centre to extract and distribute heat from the River Tyne required a range of ecological assessments and a Biodiversity Net Gain design.

Help for Butterflies

Ecological support throughout development projects can help reverse the contribution made by loss of habitat to the catastrophic reductions in butterfly populations over the past 40 years.
