BUILDINGS SECTOR

Glint and Glare

Assess whether building façades or rooftop solar panels could cause distracting reflections for aviation, road users, railways, or nearby dwellings. Services include desk-based analysis, site surveys, screening analysis, layout optimisation, and management plans, providing clear evidence and practical mitigation where possible.

Aviation & Radar

Compatibility of building projects with aviation and radar infrastructure is assessed. Services include safeguarding, radar and CNS impacts, OLS obstruction analysis, turbulence, and IFP assessments. Independent evidence clarifies impacts, informs design, and addresses aviation stakeholder requirements.

Telecommunications Impact Assessment

Evaluate whether a proposed building development could obstruct critical microwave or UHF telecoms links and mast infrastructure. Desk-based assessments provide clear evidence for planning and operator requirements, with ground surveys available to clarify infrastructure details and confirm accuracy.

Television and Radio Reception

Assess whether new buildings could disrupt local television or radio signals. Desk-based analysis, supported by baseline and post-construction surveys as required, provides independent evidence to satisfy planning conditions and reassure communities that services will be maintained.

Mobile Phone Reception

Independent mobile phone reception surveys assess signal strength in and around new developments. Evidence helps developers understand coverage, address stakeholder concerns, and demonstrate that new buildings will maintain reliable mobile connectivity for future occupants.

Broadband Connectivity

Confirm suitable high speed broadband access is available for new developments through desk-based analysis and consultation with providers. Independent evidence supports planning submissions and demonstrates compliance with Building Regulations, reassuring local authorities and future occupants.

Daylight Sunlight

Demonstrate that new buildings achieve acceptable daylight and sunlight levels without unduly affecting neighbours. Independent, BRE-compliant assessments provide clear evidence for planning submissions and reduce potential legal risks relating to rights of light.

Planning Support & Stakeholder Consultation

Resolve technical issues and manage stakeholder concerns with independent advice. Services include technical support, consultation management, and expert representation, helping reduce delays and provide clarity in planning submissions.
