Ecology and Air Quality
Our industry-leading air quality specialists were commissioned by Natural England, the JNCC and several local planning authorities to develop strategic decision-making tools and mitigation strategies
Effective assessment of changes in air quality on sensitive habitats could be pivotal in ensuring the success of your planning application
Our air quality specialists have nationally recognised experience in assessing how changes in air quality could affect sensitive habitats, including nationally and internationally designated sites. We combine this with our expertise in Habitats Regulations Assessment, giving you the best possible chance of achieving a positive outcome for your proposals.
