Adams Hendry has extensive experience at leading and working closely alongside multidisciplinary consultancy teams on major water and wastewater infrastructure projects. Since 1992 we have worked with the water industry across southern England, promoting through the planning system on clientsʼ behalf, a variety of capital schemes to meet the requirements of legislation and Asset Management Programmes. In this time Adams Hendry has secured planning consent for over 120 schemes for water resource development, water transfer, and the treatment and transfer of wastewater and sludge. The Company is familiar with the regulatory processes involved and with the legislation concerned with the water environment.

We routinely prepare complex applications for consent, with and without EIA, and represent clients throughout the planning preparation, determination and implementation process by interfacing directly with local planning authorities, decision makers, regulatory bodies and stakeholders.

In particular, our performance in securing consents without recourse to Public Inquiry is exemplar of the majority of our project management. That said, where the need for Inquiry is unavoidable, Adams Hendry boasts an exception team of qualified and respected expert witnesses supported by a highly skilled team of professional planning staff.
