Planning Application Services
APS can assist with air emission, dust, odour and climate change assessments for planning applications of a wide variety of developments. APS is thus well suited to help, all the way from pre-application advice to discharging planning conditions. APS have a full range of skills including detailed dispersion modelling, monitoring surveys, construction dust assessments and air quality neutral assessments. Some examples of what we can assist with are given below.
APS can assist with air quality, dust and odour assessments for residential and/or educational planning applications, from a single flat or a primary school to urban extensions or large scale mixed-use tower blocks. Small developments might only need a screening assessment, while for larger developments the assessment may form part of an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). These may include the assessment of a range of pollution sources and methods of assessment, for which APS is well suited to help, all the way from pre-application advice to discharging planning conditions.
We can assist with:
