Sustainability – We will confirm the overall sustainability performance of a property or development to allow you to understand and mitigate any impact to your business standard or environmental social governance (ESG) strategy. By commissioning a sustainability review and, where necessary, detailed energy, water and waste audits you can be informed of the current benchmarked performance and identify responsibilities, measures and costs required to improve overall efficiency.

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) – We provide a ‘one-stop’ EIA project management and coordination service, which simplifies lines of communication and avoids problems that can arise when individual topics are dealt with in isolation.

Our success is built on effective, early engagement with key stakeholders and a focus on delivering proportionate assessment – providing the right level of information to allow well-informed and timely decisions to be taken by determining authorities, as well as the swift delivery of consented schemes. We have a 100% track-record for screening out the need for EIA where we have recommended it. In addition, we have not to date been required to provide a Regulation 25 submission for deficiencies in an original environmental statement, attesting to the comprehensiveness and quality of our work.

When we need specialist advice – on anything from great crested newts to archaeological deposits – we call on our extensive network of expert consultants to identify cost-effective solutions.

Socio-economic and Health Impact Assessment – The increasing recognition of the effect surroundings have on communities’ wellbeing and the downstream costs of this on individuals’ health and public health services delivery have placed a greater emphasis on the consideration of health impacts at the planning stage.

We provide insight into the potential effects of schemes on an area and its community - from quantifying economic opportunities, such as job creation and local spend multiplier effects, through to defining capacity demand on local schools and GP surgeries. Our expertise is often integral to the master planning process, informing phasing strategies to ensure schemes are straightforward and deliverable.

We work with design teams, clients and statutory consultees, such as Clinical Commissioning Groups, to influence developments to deliver healthier environments. We analyse development interventions in the context of a comprehensive evidence base to evaluate the likely effectiveness of such measures and present the findings in a Health Impact Assessment.

Sustainable Development – We proactively engage with the local authority and embed ourselves within the design team to drive and monitor best practice throughout design, construction and operation. Our advice is both pragmatic and proportionate to the development, whether it forms part of a major masterplan or estate regeneration scheme or a small residential building. We have substantial experience both nationally and in London, where we can provide the necessary advice and services to meet the Greater London Authority’s Zero Carbon policies, including the carbon offsetting calculations.

Sustainable Property Management – We work with our property management teams to ensure that sustainability is fully embedded into their management processes. This ensures that risks are identified, advised and strategies put in place for their mitigation; while opportunities are highlighted which maximise the performance of your assets and portfolios. We tailor these strategies and set key performance indicators that reflect your business goals and drivers, evolving with your wider responsible property investment or sustainability programme, so that performance across a broad range of metrics can be monitored and effectively communicated.
