Environmental Consultants can work in a variety of fields ranging from home energy audits to large scale development plans and conservation issues. A consultant will look at water, air and land pollution, how buildings and developments might impact the environment and how much noise and waste might be produced.
Most environmental consultants work in the commercial sector where developers are legally bound to engage a consultant to provide recommendations and reports as to how a project might impact the environment at all levels.
It is a legal requirement for an environmental consultant to make a report where renewable energy projects are undertaken. For projects such as onshore and offshore wind farms, detailed environmental impact assessments must be completed before planning permission is given. Renewable energy is an emerging market and although the need for the UK to produce much more renewable energy is paramount, the rigorous analysis which is undertaken to ensure the land and environment is protected is a statutory requirement.
At the individual level, domestic environmental consultants can provide a range of services. These range from assessing land and environment for building projects which need planning permission, to advising on improvements to your home which will help the environment.
If you need an environmental consultant Act on Energy can provide help and advice on sourcing the type of consultant you need for your requirements. Call us today for more information on 0800 988 2881.
