Services
Planning for Sustainability is one of very few dedicated organisations that is able to deliver a truly integrated, multi-disciplinary approach to sustainable development in London. We work from project strategy to planning consent and implementation.
We help to ensure that every project we work on is compliant with the planning requirements.
DAYLIGHT AND SUNLIGHT, RIGHT TO LIGHT
Daylight and sunlight are material planning considerations, and compliance to the related requirements is essential.
Our team of specialists support your project with an impact assessment and the preparation of a Daylight and Sunlight Report to submit with your planning application.
Energy Planning Support
The carbon emissions associated with the energy use within new buildings is a material planning consideration. To ensure an optimal set of measures that are practical and cost effective to implement a strategic approach is needed.
We provide a range of services and reports to help you optimise the energy performance of your new building in a cost-effective way that meets the requirements of planning authorities.
AIR QUALITY
Existing poor air quality can constrain residential development and sometimes require specific measures to ensure development can receive planning consent. In addition introducing new car trips can put additional air pollution pressure on the wider area around the development site.
We provide a range of air quality services to support your planning application.
Overheating in New Buildings
There is growing evidence that homes are at risk of overheating, and that this will increase with climate change.
At present, this is only partially addressed.
Current tools and approaches typically focus on the detailed design stage and do not encourage sufficient consideration of early-stage decisions such as site and dwelling layout. There is a need for a holistic consideration of overheating risk and its associated design issues such as ventilation, noise and daylight penetration.
