Planning & Permitting

Securing planning and permit approvals for projects can be complex and requires careful planning, clear execution and delivery plans. It also requires the deployment of technical expertise, stakeholder management and strong project coordination.

We also understand how to navigate regulatory pathways and appreciate that addressing risks and opportunities is essential for project success. At SLR, we offer the right blend of project management, stakeholder engagement tools, technical specialists, spatial data intelligence, local expertise and strategic advice to deliver approvals that work for our clients and local communities.
