Drought Preparedness in UK Development: Why a Phase 1 Desktop Study De‑Risks Your Site
Water stress and drought planning are moving up the UK agenda. For developers, the knock‑on effects are practical: changing groundwater regimes, pressure on drainage and resilience, and tighter scrutiny at planning. A Phase 1 Desktop Study is the fastest way
Brownfield & Infill Sites: Proving SuDS by Infiltration with BRE365 Testing
As flood and drainage scrutiny increases, planners want robust evidence that SuDS proposals will work—especially on tight brownfield and infill plots. Our Infiltration Testing service delivers BRE365‑compliant results that designers can trust. We scope trial pit locations that reflect proposed hardstanding
Asbestos Surveys & Phase 1 Studies for Permitted Development
Why PD Conversions Need Environmental Checks Office-to-residential conversions are booming under permitted development (PD) rights. However, these projects often involve older buildings where Asbestos Surveys are essential before any refurbishment. Many councils also require a Phase 1 Desktop Study for developments on
Infiltration Testing & Phase 1 Studies for Flood Risk Compliance
In flood-prone areas, councils are enforcing stricter Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) requirements. Infiltration Testing is now essential to demonstrate that a site can manage surface water effectively. Paired with a Phase 1 Desktop Study, you can provide a complete risk picture
