Planning and energy development consultants

by planning well we can delivery net zero with minimal local environmental effects and lowest cost - it makes sense

We are a planning and energy development consultancy with over 40 years experience covering both the public and private sector. We handle developments of all kinds from simple house extensions to major infrastructure, across the UK. In recent years we have evolved a specialism in energy related developments, such as solar parks, wind farms, overhead power lines, energy storage and intense energy users, such as data centres. We support both developers and communities affected by development proposals as well as planning authorities on policy and decisions.

Our expertise includes:

• assessing prospective projects at the pre-application stage;


• preparing applications and taking them through the consenting process;


• appeals and post-decision reviews;


• guiding affected communities on responding to development proposals;


• preparing submissions in support of or objecting to major infrastructure;


• Assessing cases in respect to contribution towards net zero, net economic benefit, sustainability and meeting site selection criteria;


• acting as an expert witness in public inquiries and hearings;


• guiding clients on the regulatory system and complexities of the energy system;


• Assisting with the preparation of policies, including on energy and climate change;


• supporting clients engaged in public consultations;


• environmental law and compliance.
