Expert Witness Support

As climate change becomes an ever increasing hot topic for the world, more developments are being objected to due to potential impacts upon the climate.

It is important that developers be aware of recent and upcoming guidance, policy, strategy and legislation changes with regards to the climate. Many developers are unwittingly opening themselves to risks of refusal, where early advice could avoid potential issues later on. The Climate Consultants actively recommend early discussions to help minimise risk and promote due diligence for projects.

Conversely, it is important that objectors realise the potential weight that challenging a development on climate grounds can have.
