Environmental Health- Technical Advice for Planning Applicants
What is EH-TAP?
‘Environmental Health - Technical Advice for Planning Applicants’ (EH-TAP) is a flexible service for developers, applicants and agents seeking consultee advice/comments on environmental health matters linked to the planning process.
EH-TAP is aimed at applicants who want to ‘get it right first time’ and in the process reduce costs and save time.
In particular, EH-TAP provides a consultee perspective on potential adverse effects upon health and/or general amenity associated with:
- Air quality
- Contaminated land
- Noise
- Odour
What are the options?
EH-TAP provides flexibility to suit proposals at different stages of development. Whether at an early outline stage, or a more advanced scheme with relevant assessment reports, EH-TAP is available to suit the situation and requirements for advice.
Preliminary EH-TAP is an optional addition when using the ‘Pre-Application Planning and Building Control Advice’ service offered by the Planning and Sustainable Development. Applicants are advised when preliminary EH-TAP might be of benefit (e.g. due to constraints such as those relating to air quality and contaminated land) and have the option of paying a fixed fee for environmental advice to be provided to assist with the consideration of such factors as part of a future planning submission. Preliminary EH-TAP can also be obtained where applicants aren’t submitting a Planning Pre-App but have a specific need for Environmental Health advice.
Detailed EH-TAP is available for applicants with a more advanced scheme who wish to receive technical consultee advice on the approach to assessing relevant impacts (e.g. scope and methodology of a relevant assessment) and/or full consultee comments in advance of a formal submission.
