Sustainability Statements

The knowledgeable team of consultants at Environmental Economics has extensive experience preparing sustainability statements, which are often required as part of the planning validation process.

These can incorporate a wide variety of issues, including the following:

Analysis of local public transport



Availability of public transport is often a key factor in the desirability of a new property, particularly with the increasing costs and environmental impact of car ownership. We’ll assess what the nearby public transport is like, the frequency of services and distance to the closest bus/tram stop or railway station.

Green Guide rated construction types

We’ll assess the environmental impacts of the construction materials that are commonly used in different types of buildings, ranking them according to the BRE Green Guide rating scheme. This allows decisions on specification to be taken based on environmental impact.

Energy performance levels

A comprehensive assessment of energy performance levels across the entire property or development, with recommendations on how to improve performance and efficiency in a safe and environmentally-friendly manner.

White goods energy ratings

We’ll thoroughly examine all of the white goods that are planned to be installed in the property and provide a detailed report on their respective energy ratings, allowing decisions to be taken on the best ones to use to ensure optimum energy efficiency.

Local amenities

The availability of local amenities is a key factor for any would-be tenant. We’ll report on which shops and facilities are in the nearby area, how varied the services they offer are and how accessible they are.
