The practice has recently assisted AMEC Wind with the landscape and visual assessment for proposed 60MW wind energy project at Ray Forest in Northumberland, and the planning application was submitted in December 2005.
On 30 January 2006 Cumbria County Council granted planning permission to our client British Nuclear Group Ltd for a temporary extension in respect of the storage of containers at their low level waste facility at Drigg in Cumbria. We coordinated the information required for the Environmental Statement, prepared a detailed landscape and visual assessment of the proposal and acted as planning advisors for the project.
We are currently assisting EnergieKontor with coordination of an Environmental Statement for a proposed wind farm at Auchtermuchty in Fife.
The practice has recently been successful in obtaining planning permission for a new Liquid Waste Acceptance Facility for Cumbria Waste Management Ltd at their Distington Landfill site. The new facility will allow the direct treatment of liquid wastes through the sites leachate treatment system. This is an important asset for the site as the provisions of the landfill regulations will bite next year banning the disposal of liquid wastes to landfill.
We are currently working on two major extensions to sand and gravel quarries in north Cumbria. Both projects require full Environmental Impact Assessment. We are carrying out the project design, landscape and visual assessment and planning work, as well as coordinating all other assessment work.
