about us
We have expanded to meet the needs of our clients and the evolving environmental and planning agendas within the energy, waste and mineral industries. We have expertise in the planning of:

  • advanced recycling technologies
  • agricultural development,
    including grain stores
  • anaerobic digestion
  • building stone and aggregat
    quarrying
  • composting, both open windrow and
    in-vessel
  • energy from waste
  • quarry and landfill restoration
  • resource recovery
  • renewable energy generation

We offer environmental permitting services in those areas above in which this applies.

We know all our clients personally, and pride ourselves on dealing with them as individuals. With a reputation for success, much of our work is repeat or recommendation business, either for the same site or the same client. Although many of our projects are of a large scale, no job is too small.

We are based in rural Northamptonshire near the M1/M6/A14 junction. Our location enables easy access to the majority of the UK, and we have a client base spread across the majority of England and recently have completed projects in Wales and Scotland.
We are not experts in every environmental field, but we do understand the opportunities and constraints posed by individual sites, how to capitalise on their strengths and address challenges, using the support of an established network of independent technical consultants. We work with:

  • archaeologists
  • architects
  • civil engineers
  • contaminated land specialists
  • drainage and flood risk experts
  • ecologists
  • noise consultants
  • experts in dust, air quality,
  • odour, bioaerosols
  • landscape architects
  • traffic and transport consultants
  • tree and woodland specialists

We are committed to sustainable principles, which is reflected in own working methods and office facilities.  We are a business member of 10:10, an ambitious project to reduce carbon emissions by 10% in 2010.

We aim to meet this target by:
• allowing flexible working and working from
  home to reduce travel by staff
• maximising available internet based resources
  and technologies to minimise the need for travel
  to meetings and site visits
• use of recycled office materials and recycling of
  office waste
• supporting wildlife and enhancing biodiversity  
  in the office gardens and wildflower meadow in
  support of the International Year of Biodiversity
• use of appropriate energy management systems
  within the office
