Odour Assessments for Planning

Secure Planning Permission with Confidence

Our Odour Assessments for Planning ensure that odour risks are thoroughly evaluated and clearly communicated to local planning authorities. By assessing potential impacts on surrounding communities, we provide robust evidence to support planning applications and reduce the risk of objections.

Cogan Environmental Consulting has successfully guided numerous developments through the UK planning system, from residential estates to industrial and agricultural facilities. Our experience ensures assessments are technically robust and practically useful.

Clients appreciate our detailed reports, evidence-based recommendations, and strategic approach, all tailored to meet planning requirements.

What We Offer

We deliver comprehensive odour assessments including:

  • Desk-based baseline odour surveys
  • Site visits, including chemical monitoring and field odour surveys (‘sniff-tests’)
  • Odour risk assessments
  • Predictive analysis of potential odour impacts
  • Identification of sensitive receptors and risk mitigation strategies
  • Full reporting aligned with UK planning and environmental guidance, legislation and policies

Our assessments help clients achieve timely approvals while addressing environmental and community concerns.
