Planning and legislative frameworks are constantly under review. Navigating a way across various national and local sustainability requirements, as well as best practice standards and codes can benefit from specialist advice.

Our team of Sustainability Consultants ensures the projects’ targets are in-line with regulatory guidance. We are also able to map a project’s performances against current and anticipated future standards and codes of practice. This enables clients to view a project’s trajectory in-line with the market or as part of a phased delivery plan.

We will guide the team on how to achieve legislative compliance in terms of Building Regulations, energy including the future use of Allowable Solutions, and water requirements. We give advice on complying with calculation methodology as well as responding to specific local agendas - such as the London Housing Design Guide or Brighton and Hove’s Embodied Carbon Emissions Calculator and Sustainability Checklist.

We are experienced at meeting Local Authority requirements at the Planning stage and understand how to represent the project information to help achieve Planning permission. We prepare Sustainable Design and Construction Reports and Energy Statements to convey the project’s energy strategy and sustainability credentials.

Our Engineers and Sustainability Consultants work with the team to develop project specific energy and sustainability strategies. Our reports communicate the aspirations and design with clarity.
