Consideration needs to be given to carbon and other greenhouse gas emissions, as well as factoring in long-term climate change adaptation and resilience. New infrastructure projects must comply with a raft of legislation, including Biodiversity Net Gain and the Water Framework Directive. Projects need to be designed in harmony with their surroundings, and to address long-term environmental impacts if they are to achieve planning permission and environmental consents. SYSTRA is a market leader in environmental advisory services. We collect and analyse a whole range of data and insights so that we can advise clients on the development of complex infrastructure projects – balancing design, delivery and operational requirements with the need to protect and preserve the natural environment. ![](https://www.systra.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/11/2023/06/environmental-advisory-call-out-1024x403.jpg) **Working together with clients, SYSTRA provides the environmental advice needed to develop nature-positive solutions for infrastructure projects on any scale.** ### Environmental data analysis and interpretation SYSTRA environmental specialists provide a range of advisory services to help clients deliver major infrastructure projects that meet the needs of all stakeholders, while also minimising environmental impacts and protecting natural resources. Our expertise in data analysis and interpretation enables us to assess and advise on the complex web of environmental impacts and interactions associated with any large infrastructure programme. ### Consents and planning permissions Our team of environmental consultants supports clients through the entire process, from initial feasibility studies to site assessments and throughout the design phases. Our support helps to ensure projects obtain the necessary consents and planning permissions, in line with all relevant environmental legislation. Our consents and planning specialists provide practical advice and work with client design teams to avoid, remedy or mitigate potential impacts on the environment. We help to prepare consent application documents and liaise with statutory authorities to agree consent requirements. ![Stock image of people pointing to diagram with pen](https://www.systra.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/11/2023/03/contact-us-800x300-1.jpg) How can our experts help?
