Pre-Planning Services

As planning policy evolves, more information is needed to allow the relevant Statutory Authorities determine the suitability of developments. Predominantly, this concentrates on ensuring suitable drainage to reduce flood risk as a result of the development and addressing legacy land issues from previous uses causing contamination.

How we can help

We can assist you in gathering and providing the required information to support the application for your project to suit the approvals process of Local Authority planning, Lead Local Flood Authority, Environment Agency/Natural Resources Wales or the local Water Authority. Whether this is a single residential property, a large residential development site, industrial or commercial use we can advise of suitable drainage strategies, flood risk and legacy land use issues.
