Environmental Planning Consultancy

Environmental planning is a critical component of any successful development project, but it’s also an area fraught with complexities, potential risks, and unique challenges. Lucion’s environmental planning consultancy services are designed to help you overcome these obstacles and unlock your project’s full potential. 

Our team of experienced environmental planning professionals will work closely with you to assess potential constraints, identify opportunities for sustainable development, and devise bespoke solutions that address your specific needs. Drawing on a comprehensive range of in-house capabilities, including environmental impact assessments, ecological surveys, flood risk management, and sustainability consulting, we’ll ensure your project is addressed from every angle. 

Our environmental planning consultancy services include: 

Environmental Planning Feasibility and Risks Review  

In the early stages of your development, we’ll conduct a thorough assessment of the site’s environmental and planning constraints, opportunities, and deliverability. This allows us to identify potential risks, inform the masterplanning process, and develop tailored strategies for the next stages of your project. 

Environmental Planning Team Coordination  

Navigating the complex web of technical disciplines required for environmental planning can be a significant challenge. We proactively manage your project’s environmental specialists, resolving issues as they arise and ensuring a cohesive, cross-disciplinary approach. 

Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA)  

Our experts have extensive experience in managing and producing EIA screening letters, scoping reports, and comprehensive environmental statements. We ensure your EIA focuses on the key decision-influencing issues, providing a robust, pragmatic, and commercially viable evidence base. 

Environmental Planning Conditions Discharge Support 

We provide technical advice on the wording of planning conditions, ensuring they are commercially sound and workable. We then produce and manage the necessary reports to enable the discharge of these conditions, liaising directly with local authorities. 

Environmental Reports  

Where a full EIA is not required, we can prepare comprehensive environmental reports to accompany your planning application, clearly explaining the proposed development and summarising any supporting technical assessments.

Environmental Planning Due Diligence  

Offering expert due diligence advice to developers and portfolio holders, we independently audit the environmental aspects of developments to ensure compliance with regulations, permits, and consents. 

COMAH Zone and Hazardous Pipeline Support  

Our team provides assistance on developments in proximity to COMAH zones and hazardous pipelines, establishing the likelihood of planning approval and developing risk mitigation strategies. 

By partnering with Lucion, you’ll benefit from our proven track record in delivering successful environmental planning outcomes across a wide range of sectors. Our client-centric approach and multidisciplinary expertise ensure your project remains compliant, mitigates environmental risks, and unlocks opportunities for sustainable development.
