A Practical Guide to Appropriate Measures for New UK Enclosed Developments

Appropriate Measures help ensure enclosed buildings are safe, environmentally sound and aligned with UK planning expectations. These measures address ventilation, spill control, drainage isolation, waste handling and pollutant dispersion. They also overlap heavily with car notification requirements where vehicles operate inside the structure.

A strong compliance package begins with a Phase 1 Desktop Study. This informs potential downstream assessments such as Air Quality, Infiltration Testing or WAC Testing.

Developers planning new-build elements may require SAP Calculations to demonstrate compliance with energy standards. Existing building conversions typically need an Asbestos Survey.

EnviroSolution supports these compliance steps, ensuring enclosed building projects move through planning efficiently.
