Sustainability Assessment

At The Syntegra Group, we understand that sustainability is no longer just an option – it is an essential requirement for organisations, developers, and property owners across the UK. Local authorities are placing an ever-greater emphasis on environmental responsibility, energy efficiency, and sustainable development as part of their planning policy frameworks. Meeting these requirements can often seem complex, especially when you need to balance regulatory compliance with your wider strategic objectives. That is where our sustainability assessment consultants come in.

We specialise in delivering a comprehensive range of sustainability assessment solutions designed to support developers, architects, planning consultants, and businesses of all sizes. Our team combines technical expertise with an in-depth knowledge of UK planning regulations to ensure your project not only complies with local authority requirements but also contributes positively to environmental goals and long-term performance.

Why Sustainability Assessments Matter in the UK

With the UK government committed to achieving Net Zero carbon emissions by 2050, planning authorities are increasingly enforcing sustainability standards on both new builds and refurbishments. From energy efficiency assessments and carbon footprint calculations to waste management, biodiversity impact, and renewable energy integration, sustainability is now embedded into every stage of the development process. Failure to meet these criteria can delay approvals, increase costs, or limit the future viability of your project.

Our sustainability assessment services provide clear, evidence-based reports that demonstrate compliance with local and national planning policies, including BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method), Code for Sustainable Homes (where applicable), and other recognised frameworks. This not only streamlines the planning approval process but also strengthens the reputation of your organisation as a responsible, forward-thinking developer or business.
