Increasingly, planning applications must be supported by an environmental statement that sets out the considerations, issues and plans of the development in the context of the environment to provide the highest chance of receiving planning approval. The Buro Happold Environment team is skilled in the preparation of preparation and review of environmental statements in relation to many types of developments from masterplanning and regeneration projects to highways and road schemes.

Our Environmental Statements are easy to read, written appropriately for both planning authorities and the public; succinctly identify the significant environmental effects, propose practical mitigation measures and can later be adapted for implementing environmental management during construction and operation.
