DBS Environmental Ltd. delivers high quality, technically robust and defensible work for a diverse range of clients including local and national developers, house builders, architects, local authorities, engineers, other consultants, commercial and industrial clients and private individuals. Our aim is to provide clients with clear, pragmatic advice to help them deliver successful projects.
The majority of our Phase 1 reports are prepared for planning, and to enable our clients to progress a change of land use cost effectively and safely. An accurate, thorough Phase 1 Desk Study report helps get your planning application moving. It anticipates problems, speeds your project over the regulatory hurdles and forms the basis of a cost-effective site investigation strategy, if investigation is deemed to be required.
A well designed Phase 2 intrusive ground investigation (aka site investigation) tells you more about the risks posed by a development site or its surroundings, and helps to further define potential in ground risks. It allows you to identify and quantify risks, to refine your sites Conceptual Site Model established at Phase 1, and to help you meet your legal requirement to work and build safely.
Once a site has been sufficiently characterised at Phase 1 and Phase 2 stage, there may be a requirement to undertake site remediation to make contaminated land safe for development. Site remediation will focus on breaking what are termed "Source-Pathway-Receptor" pollutant linkages. Breaking the pollutant linkages successfully through remediation allows any outstanding planning conditions to be discharged, allowing development to proceed.
DBS brings the experience needed to manage risk, liaise with agencies, steer applications through the regulatory process and direct specialist professionals. We aim to save you money and time, helping your project meet legal requirements and stay within budget. We have long experience of dealing with Local Planning Authorities, gathering the documentation and information they require and negotiating to meet challenges before they delay projects.
