Environmental Surveys
Scoping Your Survey
We can help you to develop and scope the environmental surveys that are required to accompany your environmental permit or planning application to either the Environment Agency or Local Planning Authority. In many cases therefore you will want to ensure that any survey conducted will be acceptable to the regulator, otherwise you will be wasting your money.
Because most of our surveys and any monitoring we do will always be developed with a purpose in mind. i.e. to discharge a planning condition on a planning application or to help you comply with an environmental permit condition. We always discuss the scope beforehand.
Things to consider before completing any environmental surveys
- First of all what am I hoping to achieve
- Why am I completing this survey
- Is it really necessary
- Have I been asked to do this by a regulator or due to the planning authority?
- Above all, could I provide the evidence/data by any other means?
- Is this the right time to do this, are weather conditions favourable?
- Am I probably getting the right company to do this
- Is there accreditation available?
- Can I convince the regulators to postpone this survey until a later date
- Will this survey definitely close out my planning condition or environmental permit requirement as a result?
- Finally, will I incur excess cost

Paul was very knowledgeable and talked us through an environmental permit application for an Anaerobic Digestion project. The permit was issued on the basis of the work carried out by Paul, without further questions or clarifications. We will definitely be using Paul again as the project progresses.
