Odour

Extensive Experience

Our team of consultants boasts extensive experience in evaluating odour impacts across various scales, from small restaurants and takeaways to large-scale wastewater treatment plants. Each project is executed in strict accordance with pertinent guidance documents, such as EMAQ+’s “Control of Odour and Noise from Commercial Kitchen Exhaust Systems” and the Institute of Air Quality Management’s “Guidance on the Assessment of Odour for Planning.”

Our odour assessment experts are well-versed in assessing pre-existing sources of odour that may affect proposed residential developments, offering valuable insights into how the National Planning Policy Framework might affect our clients’ position. Moreover, we have extensive experience of conducting comprehensive odour dispersion modelling for larger industrial projects, including asphalt plants, wastewater treatment facilities, and composting sites.

The outcomes of our odour assessments feed into the creation of detailed odour management plans. These plans incorporate measures for mitigating and controlling odour to ensure that the site can be operated in such a way to minimise the potential impact on neighbouring receptors. Our goal is to provide practical solutions that harmonise residential development with industrial operations while maintaining a high standard of environmental quality.
