Route Planning

Our Route Planning team will take a client's objectives from conceptual ideas to a hard line on the ground by identifying those financial and legal opportunities or restrictions affecting a proposed site. The services we offer are:

• Advice on route restrictions imposed by statutory designations such as SAMs, SSSIs, SACs, SPAs, RAMSAR site and non-statutory designations including SINCs and Country Wildlife sites.
• Construction management through provision of plans with overlaid aerial photographs, topographical details, public highways and information resulting from hydrological surveys.
• Desktop studies to evaluate local plans and their effect on the potential value of land affected or crossed.
• Highlighting areas of adverse impact on the environment, landscape, geographical features, inland waterways, agricultural/forestry use and socio-economic factors.
• Preparation of target costs and budgets associated with permanent and temporary damages accruing from proposed route variations.
• Utilisation of GIS databases to store and collate spatial information.
