Site Development & Constraints Analysis

We take early-stage projects from greenfield/brownfield sites through to planning and construction. We offer early stage project development services focusing on site identification, site constraints analysis as well as current and future grid availability. At this early site identification stage, we take a holistic approach, identifying potential planning and grid issues early on and offering alternative solutions to issues that arise.

FAQs

1. What does Site Development & Constraints Analysis include?
This service supports early-stage renewable energy projects from site identification through feasibility and planning readiness. It covers site screening, constraints mapping, grid assessment, landowner identification, and high-level programme and cost analysis to guide informed development decisions.

2. How do you identify suitable sites for wind, solar, and energy storage projects?
We assess technical, environmental, planning, land, and grid factors to identify viable greenfield and brownfield sites. Our approach prioritizes development potential while minimizing planning risk and delivery constraints.

3. What is constraints mapping and why is it important?
Constraints mapping identifies environmental sensitivities, planning restrictions, grid limitations, access issues, and land considerations early in the project lifecycle. This helps developers avoid unsuitable sites, reduce risk, and focus resources on the most viable opportunities.

4. How do you assess current and future grid availability?
We evaluate existing grid capacity, connection opportunities, network constraints, and future reinforcement plans. This ensures grid feasibility is understood early and supports more accurate project timelines and connection strategies.

5. Do you support landowner engagement and stakeholder planning?
Yes. We identify landowners, coordinate land agency services, and develop stakeholder engagement plans to support access agreements, community alignment, and smoother planning and consent processes.

6. What planning and feasibility support do you provide?
We deliver both high-level and detailed planning assessments, feasibility studies, programme timelines, and cost estimates. This helps developers understand project viability, risks, and investment requirements before committing further capital.
