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.
