What you get

A complete, professional A3 document — the same structure sustainability consultancies submit every day

Your site's environmental context, checked

Environment Agency flood zones, Natural England designations (SSSI, priority habitats, ancient woodland), Green Belt, conservation areas and air quality management areas — all checked live for your exact site and mapped with a red line boundary.

🧮

The calculators councils ask for

The Part G water efficiency calculation with a committed fittings schedule, the London Plan urban greening factor from your landscape areas, a biodiversity net gain headline with exemption screening, and a BREEAM pre-assessment for commercial floorspace.

📋

Every topic, every commitment

Energy and carbon, materials and circular economy, waste, climate adaptation and overheating, sustainable transport, health and wellbeing — each with quantified commitments written so the council can secure them by condition.

Materials, waste & circular economyResponsible sourcing, embodied carbon benchmarks, construction waste plan with diversion targets.
Transport, wellbeing & BREEAMCycle and EV provision, daylight and accessibility, pollution controls — and a BREEAM pre-assessment where commercial floorspace needs one.

Who it's for

Made for the applications councils ask sustainability statements for every day
🏠

New homes & extensions

Householder schemes and new dwellings where the validation checklist asks for a sustainability statement, sustainable design and construction details or a council sustainability checklist.

🏢

Commercial & mixed use

Offices, retail, industrial and mixed-use schemes needing the full topic coverage plus a BREEAM pre-assessment — most councils ask for 'Very Good' or 'Excellent' above 500–1,000 m².

🏙️

London & BNG sites

London sites get the urban greening factor and London Plan policies automatically; every site gets the statutory biodiversity net gain screening — including the exemptions that save householders the metric.

Compliance

Written to the standards councils and their sustainability officers expect
Which developments is this suitable for?

Householder, minor and medium-scale applications across the UK — new dwellings, extensions, conversions, commercial and mixed-use schemes. The report provides the topic coverage, calculators and quantified commitments local authority validation checklists and sustainability SPDs ask for. Very large schemes with EIA-scale requirements may need bespoke consultancy input as well.

What standards does the report follow?

The NPPF (December 2024) climate and biodiversity chapters, Approved Documents G (water), L (energy), O (overheating) and S (EV charging), the Environment Act 2021 biodiversity net gain framework with the statutory metric scores, the London Plan 2021 policies (urban greening factor, cooling hierarchy, circular economy) where the site is in London, BREEAM UK New Construction 2018 for commercial floorspace, and the RIBA/LETI embodied carbon benchmarks.

Where does the environmental data come from?

Live from official open datasets at the moment your report is created: the Environment Agency Flood Map for Planning, Natural England's designation datasets (SSSI, priority habitats, ancient woodland), the national planning constraint datasets on planning.data.gov.uk (Green Belt, conservation areas), and the UK-AIR air quality boundaries. Every source and access date is listed inside the report.

What about biodiversity net gain?

The report screens the statutory exemptions first (householder applications, small self-build schemes, de minimis impacts), then calculates a baseline and post-development habitat unit headline with the statutory metric scores from your site cover and landscape schedule. Where the full statutory condition applies, the report's figures give you the position, and the formal metric spreadsheet completed by an ecologist follows at condition stage — the report says exactly this, so officers know what they're looking at.

Our council's checklist wanted a sustainability statement covering energy, water, waste and biodiversity. This hit every heading and the condition was discharged in twelve days.

The biodiversity net gain screening saved us — turns out our householder application was exempt, and the report set that out with the legal references. Officer agreed immediately.

Water calculator, urban greening factor, the lot — with charts. Looked better than the £1,400 consultancy version on our last project.

London scheme — the urban greening factor calculation with the surface build-up chart was exactly what the borough asked for.

Was sceptical at the price. The report's depth won me over and the council passed it first time. Recommended to our whole practice.
