Where complex sites fall into place.
Planning, environmental permitting, grid connections and remediation for difficult sites, delivered by one team for one fixed fee.
images/home-hero.jpgOne point of contact for the whole site
A difficult site needs planners, permitting specialists, grid engineers, ecologists, surveyors and lawyers. Most owners either manage a set of independent consultants themselves or pay a large firm to pass the same brief between departments.
Suton works differently. You brief one person, once. That person sets the strategy for the site, brings in the specialists it needs and answers for the programme and the result.
One brief
You explain the site once. Every specialist works from the same strategy.
One accountable contact
A principal runs the work from first appraisal to consent and delivery.
One fixed fee
The fee is agreed at the outset, so the cost of getting a site consented is known before work starts.
Results, stated in numbers
planning consents for advanced waste recycling, in six planning authorities
months to permit a novel municipal waste treatment technology
planning conditions discharged on a former landfill
grid connection secured in the north of England
years of combined experience consenting complex sites
Everything a complex site needs, from one team
Site strategy

Who we work for
Owners and lenders
Owners with stalled, inherited or contaminated sites, including lenders in possession. We set a realistic route to value, with a known cost, and keep the matter confidential.
Funds and investors
Funds buying, financing or holding land with consenting and environmental risk. We assess that risk plainly and then deliver the consents.
Developers
Developers who need planning consent, permits and power on a programme, without coordinating six consultancies to get them.
