Environmental site appraisal

Considering environmental constraints and opportunities to enhance environmental value

When determining the suitability of a site for development, it is key to understand the environmental, social and economic constraints at an early stage. Our environmental site appraisal consultants can help you and your organisation identify both a site’s opportunities and limitations in order to make more informed decisions.

We have worked with several developers to identify the key constraints of their sites, which have then been taken into account at the early design stages. As well as identifying constraints, we also focus on identifying the opportunities around enhancing the environmental value of the site. We have experience on both urban and rural sites, as well as brownfield and greenfield land. 

Helping clients reduce risk when procuring land for development

When procuring land for development, unidentified environmental liabilities can result in significant costs and criminal convictions of parties involved in the transaction. Conversely, investment opportunities can be missed if environmental liabilities such as contamination and flood risk are overstated, or changes to planning policy and environmental legislation are not identified.

海角视频 brings together the necessary expertise to assess and prioritise the constraints, assets and redevelopment opportunities of a site. This helps a potential acquirer understand what really matters. Our aim is to provide a concise, focused and rapid response to our clients through a well-defined risk management framework.

We have a sound understanding of the type of risks that may affect our clients in regards to the liabilities attached to ownership, occupation, redevelopment and future resale. These risks include: market demand, planning policy, ground conditions, availability of local utilities and existing infrastructure, transport access, flood risk, site contamination, as well other challenges around environmental and planning consent.

Our experts can accurately assess the severity and likelihood of risks, examine the potential cost of risk mitigation, and the likelihood of compliance with current and forthcoming regulations. This enables our clients to negotiate the right purchase price for their acquisition.

We provide a range of services that can be tailored to the specific issues of each site. Ultimately, this reassures our clients that a comprehensive environmental site appraisal exercise has been undertaken.
