Argyll Environmental, the Brighton-based environmental risk management consultancy and part of Landmark Information Group, has been awarded a three-year contract to provide environmental advisory consultancy and planning advice services to Christchurch & East Dorset Council.
The contract covers the provision of Part 2A regulatory functions for the council in addition to planning advice services relating to environmental conditions within specific planning applications. It also includes responding to all Environmental Information Requests received by the council.
Having provided market-leading environmental liability assessments to the conveyancing sector for over ten years, Argyll is applying its experience to the regulatory, local authority setting. Its services are designed to provide reliable and consistent guidance that enables councils to make defensible decision-making when it comes to environmental matters relating to planning applications.
Chris Loaring, Head of Consultancy at Argyll Environmental said: “We are delighted to have been awarded the three year contract with Christchurch & East Dorset council. Here at Argyll, we place ourselves at the centre of environmental risk management decision-making for local authorities. Our in-house environmental lawyer ensures we are fully aware of the changing legislative setting for these services, and our PIEMA and CIWEM accredited consultants have vast experience in contaminated land risk assessments and management.
With all of this expert knowledge, combined with our environmental data, technology platforms and reports, we aim to generate significant operational efficiency savings for authorities, and provide consistent environmental consultancy that can be relied upon.”
