An odour assessment survey for planning applications is often the first step in identifying and managing potential odour risks in development projects. This guide explains when they are needed, how they work and how they support successful planning outcomes in the UK.
Planning near landfills, wastewater sites, or industrial facilities? Odour can be a hidden risk that affects approvals, property values, and long-term asset performance. This guide explains when an odour impact assessment is needed, your responsibilities under the “agent of change” principle, and key UK regulations and guidance to help developers mitigate odour risks from the earliest planning stages.
Odour can be a silent obstacle in planning applications. Our expert odour modelling predicts impacts, supports compliance, and helps developers anticipate objections. Using tools like ADMS, Silsoe Odours provides science-based evidence to strengthen planning submissions and protect future residents from nuisance risks.
