“Efficiency is about reducing the attrition in a project. By thoroughly understanding a site from the outset, we design projects that stand up to scrutiny and avoid post-consent reassessment.
Our early involvement means fewer barriers and a smoother approval process. Early intervention from the Cogeo team allows us to design mitigation that reduces delays in gaining consent and allows our clients certainty when construction begins.”

“I’m often the link between what’s happening on the ground and what needs to go into a planning application. That includes working with DNOs on grid connections, conducting drone and topographic surveys, and feeding accurate information back to our planning team. Clients benefit from our integrated divisions and expertise, ultimately avoiding surprises and mitigating risks and delays.”

“Noise is a non-negotiable in planning terms. We support numerous renewable energy projects, each with varying degrees of acoustic impact and mitigation. Providing certainty around noise impact is crucial to allow designs to incorporate effective mitigation measures. Experience, knowledge, and a few small changes early on can often save months of site delays.”

“From the beginning, I work with the team to identify and address areas to help achieve planning consent, and how to do it without adding unnecessary cost or delay. Continually, we liaise with installers to make sure everything is delivered correctly on site. It’s about keeping things efficient and compliant, not creating more work.”
