Abstraction licensing is a complicated process.  The Environment Agency grants or declines the license, but consults with many other parties, and a wide selection of hurdles may be presented.  There are a large number of directives and rules by which the EA works, and these can place a heavy burden on the potential developer.  We can offer support, or run the whole process.  The scope of work will be related to the extent of Environmental Impact Assessments required, but there are also fixed costs for the process.  Please contact us for further information.
