Technical and environmental considerations for BESS planning
BESS projects raise specific planning and environmental questions around safety, noise, visual impact, and infrastructure integration. Our integrated approach ensures these are addressed comprehensively.
- Multidisciplinary coordination: We bring together inputs from environmental, engineering and safety specialists, including noise, air quality, ecology, hydrology, transport, and landscape, to create a coherent proposal.
- EIA and other assessments: Where required, we manage EIA screening, scoping and coordination, or other targeted assessments, ensuring that environmental risks are understood, mitigated, and clearly presented to decision-makers.
- Design and mitigation: We advise on site layout, fencing, landscaping, access design and other mitigation to minimise impacts and improve the scheme’s planning performance and community acceptability.
