Balancing Development with a Healthy Environment.

We deliver robust noise and air quality assessments to ensure your project meets all regulatory standards. Our expert analysis and mitigation strategies are key to achieving planning consent and demonstrating your commitment to environmental responsibility.

What is a Noise & Air Quality Assessment?

A Noise & Air Quality Assessment is a technical evaluation of the potential atmospheric and acoustic impacts of a proposed development. It involves measuring existing baseline conditions and using sophisticated modelling to predict future levels during both construction and operation. In the UK, these assessments are a critical component of the planning process for projects near sensitive locations like residential areas, schools, or protected habitats. They are essential for demonstrating compliance, protecting public health, and ensuring a project’s impact is acceptable.

Our Assessment Services

We provide a full suite of services to guide your project through the complexities of noise and air quality legislation.

Baseline Surveys: Our technicians conduct on-site monitoring using certified equipment to establish the existing noise and air quality environment (including pollutants like NO₂, PM₁₀, and PM₂.₅).
Predictive Impact Modelling: We use advanced software to model the predicted noise and air quality impact of your development, considering factors like traffic, construction activities, and industrial emissions.
Mitigation & Management Plans: We don’t just identify issues; we design practical and cost-effective mitigation solutions. This includes specifying acoustic barriers, recommending site layout adjustments, or developing dust management plans.
Construction Phase Monitoring: We offer ongoing monitoring during the construction phase to ensure your project remains compliant with the conditions set out in the planning permission and the Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP).
