Environmental processing of projects: EIA decision and sector permits

A project does not stall on environmental matters in general: it stalls on one specific sector report nobody anticipated. We handle the whole permitting process and chase each authority until it issues.

What's included

• Processing of the environmental impact assessment through to the decision.
• Discharge, air, waste and noise permits.
• Authorisations for watercourses, coastal land, forestry and highways.
• Heritage, wildlife and protected area reports.
• Individual tracking of each file and its deadlines.
• Responses to objections and official requests, and support during public consultation.

When you need it

• Your design is finished and you need somebody to run all the processes.
• A sector report is outstanding and nobody is chasing it.
• The file has stalled and you do not know which authority is holding it.
• You want the processes to run in parallel rather than one after another.

How we work

We keep a tracking sheet for each file, with the authority, the deadline and who has to respond. Calling at the right moment is, in practice, half the job.
