The event
Following the success of the last Planning and Permitting workshop held in July, EBRI has once again teamed up with URS Infrastructure & Environment Ltd to provide expert planning and permitting support and guidance for companies and organisations who are based in the west Midlands and who are interested in bioenergy development at a second workshop. This workshop will provide you with a good understanding of how the planning and environmental permitting systems work. Case-study examples of first-hand experiences by URS consultants will be discussed along with the commonly experienced ‘pitfalls’ of the planning and permitting application processes. Workshop topics include: * An introduction to the planning system * Planning policy * Planning applications * Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) * Introduction to the environmental permitting system * Permit applications * Regulatory guidance The workshop will be interactive so you’ll have plenty of opportunities to ask questions throughout and a buffet lunch is included. You will also be offered the opportunity to receive additional free 1:1 advice on planning and permitting to help move your bioenergy project forward.
