From planning condition to approved drawing
Much of our civil work exists to discharge planning conditions: drainage strategies, SuDS details, flood risk assessments, access designs. We produce documents that satisfy the local authority, the lead local flood authority and the water company - and we deal with their comments until the condition is discharged.
For small and medium housebuilders, our combined offer is the practical advantage: one practice carries the site from land appraisal through drainage, roads, foundations and superstructure design.
Frequently asked questions
Do you take on small sites?
Yes - a large share of our development work is small sites: a house or two on a garden plot, infill sites, small commercial units. The same disciplines apply at every scale, and small sites are often the ones that most need efficient engineering.
