Our Director Paul and Associate Director Helena have set up our stand at the #solarireland22 event this morning and look forward to meeting people there today. It looks like it will be a busy event! #conference #solarenergy #planning #renewables

Neo Environmental are delighted to have received the final grant of permission for the circa 30MW Shanonagh solar farm in West Meath, covering 105 acres. Once constructed it will produce enough renewable energy to power circa 6,000 homes!

We undertook all of the planning and environmental assessments for the project, which included landscape, ecology, archaeology, noise, transport, hydrology, and glint & glare. We also designed the solar farm as well as conducting the archaeological geophysical survey for the project.

Great work by all the team!

Neo Environmental are delighted to have received consent on behalf of our clients RES for the 54MW Cuilmore solar Farm. We undertook all of the planning and environmental assessments for this project, including landscape and visual, ecology, traffic & transport, archaeology & heritage, glint and glare, hydrology, etc. Well done to all of the team!

We are in the middle of the renewable energy conference and exhibition season and our staff will be attending a number of events in the coming weeks. This includes as exhibitors at the UK’s largest renewable exhibition uniting the Solar, Storage & EV industries to power the energy system of the future. You will find us on stand P9

Neo Environmental are delighted to see that Derril Water Solar Farm has been formally approved for our client RES. We completed all of the planning and environmental work for this solar farm which was proven to be rigorous and comprehensive based on the JR decision. We look forward to seeing this solar farm constructed and contributing to UK carbon reduction targets.

After a robust auditing process of our quality management systems, we are pleased to have achieved ISO9001 accreditation for all of our offices and Neo Environmental Ltd is now an ISO9001 certified company

Neo Environmental were involved in various stages of the 49.9MW Mannington Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) from initial constraint analysis and site suitability assessment to planning and condition compliance.

The Energy Storage Facility is located in Greenbelt in Dorset and our planning team successfully argued a case for Very Special Circumstances (VSC) for the project. The VSC report concluded that the overall strategic performance and function of the remaining Green Belt would prevail, with the benefits of the Proposed Development considerably outweighing the minor adverse impacts identified.

Our team undertook and compiled various planning and environmental assessments and reports including ecology, landscape, archaeology & heritage, noise, arboriculture, traffic and transportation and hydrology (flood risk & drainage). As part of their fieldwork, our ecologists conducted bat surveys surveys in support of the Ecological Impact Assessment (EcIA) and also conducted a Habitat Regulations Assessment (HRA).

East Dorset Council provided an excellent service given the current circumstances relating to COVID-19; the planning application was consented with no pre-commencement conditions attached. We look forward to seeing the completed development in due course.

Neo Environmental undertook all work for the 3 phases of the Proposed Development which included, feasibility studies, planning and the full suite of environmental and technical assessments. This include two separate solar applications of circa 50MW (original site and extension) and the 100MW battery storage project, all of which were consented. The team co-ordinated and undertook the pre-application meetings with the council, site visits and also co-ordinated and undertook all of the planning and environmental works as well as the design (Planning reports, ecology, archaeology, noise, transport, hydrology, glint and glare, landscape and visual). This was part of a portfolio of projects that Neo received consent for (100% successful consent rate), including three 100MW battery storage projects.

Neo Environmental were commissioned to coordinate and undertake the full suite of environmental assessments required to accompany a planning application for a large-scale solar farm within South Meath. The substantial development covers an area of circa 130ha and required detailed assessments.

from an early stage in the proposed development, this included input into the EIA screening report and the public exhibition. The planning application and environmental assessments were submitted to Meath County Council and received approval in August 2018. Neo Environmental also completed a full geophysical survey and archaeology testing for the project on behalf of Lightsource BP. We have also completed the condition compliance for the construction stage of the project.
