Pager Power is now providing continuing professional development (CPD) sessions on a range of topics that may affect your proposed development. Our CPD sessions cover technical matters related to solar panels, wind turbines, and tall buildings. We can assist with the understanding of key planning requirements surrounding a proposed development, whilst it also gives us the opportunity to meet more of our clients in person to better understand their needs and expectations.
Pager Power is a technical consultancy company that provides independent advice, undertakes stakeholder consultation, and a vast range of technical assessments to support a planning application. An overview of our services is available here.
