Environmental Consultants in Liverpool

Home / Liverpool

Demeter Environmental provides environmental consultancy and ground investigation support from our Liverpool office. We help developers, property owners and project teams understand contaminated land, mining and geotechnical risks before deciding what work a site needs.

From a Liverpool site enquiry to a clear scope

A planning condition, a proposed change of use or a property purchase can each raise different questions about the ground. Send us the site address, a red-line boundary, the proposed development and any relevant planning correspondence. We can review the information and advise which stage of assessment is appropriate.

For sites with previous development or uncertain historical uses, an early desk study helps identify potential contamination sources and information gaps. Intrusive investigation is then targeted to the questions that need answering. The scope depends on the site; a previous use does not automatically mean that the same investigation is needed everywhere.

Environmental and geotechnical services

• Phase 1 desk study reports review site history and environmental information. Our fee includes a site walkover and subsequent planning liaison.
• Phase 2 site investigations gather evidence about ground conditions and possible contamination.
• Remediation and validation support the required measures and evidence that they have been completed.
• Coal Mining Risk Assessments consider historic coal mining where relevant to the site.
• Geotechnical site investigations provide ground information to support foundation and engineering design.

Planning conditions and site information

If Liverpool City Council or another local planning authority has requested contaminated land information, share the exact wording of the condition and any earlier reports. We can help you understand what evidence is being sought and the next steps. Acceptance of a submission remains a decision for the relevant authority.

See Liverpool City Council’s guidance on development and contaminated land for the council’s published requirements.
