Waypoint Planning have supported Regener8 Power Ltd deliver two Solar Farm renewable energy projects of 49.9MW into the respective Local Planning Authorities within a very short 5 month Period.
One of these applications had the added requirement of an Environmental Impact Assessment. This project was delivered in line with key deadlines and targets set at the original outset which was no easy task.
Waypoint Planning were able to adapt, respond and advise on each step of the process with diligence and supported the delivery from conception through to submission.
With regard to the services provided, Waypoint Planning went above and beyond to provide additional support to the company where internal resource was not available and so ensured smooth delivery of additional work circumventing potential delays to project delivery. Working with great consultants makes a project much more enjoyable to deliver and on a personal level the team were very approachable, knowledge and available for meetings and email responses promptly and reliably.
Overall, the professional conduct and service provided has been second to none. A stella job by Waypoint Planning.”
Regener8 Power Ltd
I have used other planning consultants over the years of developing our business park with various degrees of satisfaction. I took the decision to use Waypoint Planning as I was already receiving good advice from Wilson Wraight and my previous consultant had retired. I have not been disappointed with my decision. Dan and his team have been very professional. They have kept the planning process a less stressful experience and with their knowledge of the various changes in planning we have been able to deal with our Planning Officer in an efficient and timely manner.”
