Planning and Development

The A.G.A. Group has direct experience in dealing with both the Environment Agency and Local Planning Authorities in applying and obtaining planning consents for fish farms and recreational fisheries.  Currently there are projects underway for clients in both of these areas. 

 The A.G.A. Group will undertake any or all steps that are required to obtain planning consent from the early planning stage to post consent, project management and even construction in certain circumstances, that is providing we feel that the method and type of construction is in an area that we can offer a competitive and professional service to the client.

 There is ‘in house’ technical and practical experience available in pond and lake design which has been gained over many years of actually ‘doing the job’ for a living.  Ash is never happier than when he has the opportunity to work with a client to design their dream fishery or other water feature. 

The team have been called upon more frequently in recent times to carry out work on ornamental ponds, the results have been good and that’s what the A.G.A. clients say. Past client references are always available to serious potential clients.

To offer a complete service in today’s conservation sensitive world the planning and development team is multi-disciplined to enable us to undertake Environmental Impact Assessment, scoping and feasibility studies as well as ecological reports as part of the development package.  Our consultant client advisers have a full and working knowledge of the ever developing legislation and criteria that governs application for abstraction and discharge consents, we deal with these on the clients behalf.  

It is important to strike a balance to ensure that the project objectives are achieved in a way that takes full consideration for biodiversity and sustainability all of the regulatory bodies and their statutory consultee's expect this to happen as a mater of course.
