Minimising planning risk

Our team can help get the necessary consents and approvals for projects, whether that is Planning Consent, Listed Building consents, Building Regulations approvals, Environment Agency consent, or the support of other interested parties.

We are experienced at understanding and dealing with the concerns of regulatory authorities, whether this is Listed Building consents for a new biomass boiler, the Environment Agencies concerns over the impact of hydro on fish, or concerns of Air Traffic Control and communications systems operators over a wind farm proposal.

A key issue for planners is the impact of a proposal (and often the cumulative impact of a number of projects) weighed against the benefits of projects, particularly in terms of reduced emissions and energy costs. Planners need to see that projects have been thought through, particularly around sizing. They are much more sympathetic, for example, to wind turbine proposals sized to meet the needs of a site, than they are to industrial scale projects designed to export all their power.

Communities

Of course, planning issues are not just a matter of pleasing the authorites. Its about dealing with your neighbours and the wider community sympathetically. Often its best to work with them closely to understand and allay any concerns they might have. At Susenco we believe in the value of communicating with and involving the local community.
