Planning and construction advice

environmental impact assessment

No longer restricted to the largest of developments EIA's are now required for most projects of any size. Conducting an EIA and presenting the information ahead of any request, has been found to reduce the time taken on planning decisions and improve an organisations profile. Halcrow has led and contributed to a large number of EIA's for a variety of projects from the retail, electronic, health, government and service sectors.

planning committee and stakeholder liaison

Regardless of the information provided permissions can be won or lost depending on how planning committees and local stakeholders are managed and communicated with. Halcrow has regularly been successful in ensuring that key individuals and organisations are consulted in a manner that provides them with the information they seek, in a manner in which they can understand it. Halcrow's approach has earned accolades from many community groups and from Government.

construction contractor management

An organisations relationship with the local community starts with the construction of its developments. Halcrow has helped several clients to ensure that construction contractors operate in compliance with the client's policy and procedures with regard to the environment and community relations. Halcrow has assisted contractors to implement working methods that help the client reach their environmental targets and begin a positive relationship with the local community.
