Pollution consultation advice


We are often asked by consultants and developers to:

  • review and approve a scope of works document
  • make comments on a completed report or assessment

This is before submission of the document to the client or planning department.

Our Environmental Protection team can make comments on a scope of works, report or assessment. This may include advice about further works needed and extra codes of practice, British Standards or policy documents etc. to be referenced.

Please note, our Environmental Protection team cannot write or specify a scope of works for you.

We now charge for this consultation advice service. The fee is £55 per hour (inclusive of VAT), with a minimum charge of one hour, payable in advance.

Next steps

Once you have made your request, we will provide you with a written response by email.

Should the consultation advice response take more than one hour, we will contact you for payment of the extra fee. You will need to pay the extra fee before we send the response.

The comments or advice you receive will be the same as the officer would give if reviewing the planning application. This represents their professional opinion based upon the information you provide.

The consultant or developer is at liberty to take on board the advice or comments provided or continue with their application or submission to the planning authority.
