We provide strategic and detailed advice to water company clients in support of their water resource plans and proposals. Working closely with clients, co-consultants and engineers we are experienced in successfully managing the interface between water resource planning processes and procedures and the town planning system. We act as agents and planning consultants on water resource schemes, pipelines, reservoirs and treatment infrastructure.

In the wastewater industry Adams Hendry has been instrumental in assisting clients to meet the increasingly stringent requirements of UK and European legislation. By their very nature, wastewater schemes can be complex and politically controversial. We work closely with client teams, engineering and environmental consultancies in the design, environmental assessment, consultation, promotion and consenting of schemes.

Our experience covers the range of wastewater projects. We have secured town planning, marine and other consents for new wastewater treatment works, sludge treatment and recycling centres, treatment plant, equipment and pipelines, as well as a series of first time sewerage schemes.

Our skills include:

• Planning applications and Environmental Impact Assessment
• Water Resources Management and Drought Plans
• Wastewater and sludge strategies
• Permitted development advice
• Site feasibility and appraisal
• Stakeholder engagement and management
