Environmental Due Diligence Assessments

Environmental due diligence is the process of assessing lands to be acquired / developed, identifying actual or potential environmental liabilities arising from current or historical land usage. Enviroguide Consulting offers both Phase 1 Site assessments, which are generally desktop exercises and Phase II site investigation works. The information gathered during an Environmental due diligence assessment is used to identify the need for, and extent of any site remediation measures, and the likely associated costs.

Statutory Consent Procedures

The planning process involves numerous elements for submission to the Local Authority or to An Bord Pleanála through Strategic Infrastructure Design (SID). Enviroguide Consulting has the experience and expertise to ensure all statutory elements are addressed prior to submitting an application.

Oral Hearings Support

Oral hearings are a vital part of large planning developments. An Bord Pleanála has discretion to hold an oral hearing of any case e.g. an appeal, referral or an application for permission or approval of strategic infrastructure development. Enviroguide Consulting can provide experts to assist you during the oral hearing process.
