Land Acquisition
Finding the right piece of land and indeed the right landlord is key to the success of any development. At Zetland Group we have over 25 years’ experience identifying and negotiating land acquisition agreements. On your behalf and in consultation with your legal advisors, we work closely with the landowner and land agents to establish heads of terms, followed by lease or purchase agreement.
Mapping Services
We provide a range of mapping services, including Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and Computer Aided Design (CAD) to support your development and operations. Together with topographic survey data, we create detailed and accurate mapping information, layout/section plans and emergency evacuation/rescue plans.
Town and Country Planning
Our Chartered Town Planning team will guide you through the Town and Country Planning system, from constraints mapping, site identification and feasibility assessments, through to environmental assessment and submission of planning applications. Working with our team of experienced and trusted third party consultants, specialists in their own field, we deliver a robust planning submission capable of obtaining Planning Officer’s recommendation for approval. We drive the planning application process from start to finish, including the agreement in advance of planning conditions, Section 106 agreements or Section 278 agreements, to ensure that your development is not held up unnecessarily in the planning system.
Thereafter, we will work with you to discharge planning conditions, as specified in the decision notice and subsequently monitor your development for compliance with those conditions.
In the event of a negative planning decision, we coordinate planning appeals and provide expert witness services in Town and Country Planning and Regulatory Framework.
Environmental Permitting
Our team of permitting specialists can guide and assist you through the environmental consenting process and acquire the necessary permit for your development or industrial processes. Our knowledge and positive working relationship with the regulators will result in an efficient application with the sole aim of obtaining the necessary permit without undue delay.
Working alongside our Chartered Town Planning team, we ensure consistency across both regulatory regimes, reducing the potential for contradiction or development description errors.
We drive the environmental permitting process from start to finish, from basic or advanced pre-application advice with the Environment Agency, through to ‘minded to’ consultation (high public interest sites) and permit issue. Thereafter, we can assist with the discharging of pre-operational conditions and the reporting of emissions, as specified by the permit.
Health, Safety and Environmental Management
Our health and safety specialists can assist in the continual improvement of your Safety Management System providing guidance in the development and implementation of a suitable and effective framework for managing health and safety across your business.
Our specialists have expertise in regulatory compliance across various industry sectors including manufacture, construction, energy and transportation with disciplines covering regulatory compliance within COMAH, construction, COSHH, risk assessment, accident/incident investigation, site inspections and compliance audits.
Working together, we aim to assist you in the development and maintenance of a positive safety culture ensuring regulatory compliance can be maintained whilst also building the pathway for a sustainable future.
Construction Management
Our experienced Construction Manager provides key support services including site evaluation, construction tender evaluation and award, site construction/restoration supervision, compilation of the site health and safety file and final handover appraisal. As well as post construction modification, compliance testing and ongoing aftercare.
