Below are just some of the projects we have worked on...
Seisdon Quarry in Staffordshire had a complex planning history, with multiple mineral and waste permissions governing its operation and restoration. Arthian acted as lead planning consultant, coordinating the preparation, management and submission of a comprehensive planning application to consolidate existing permissions into a single planning consent and establish a clear framework for the future operation and restoration of the quarry.
With increasing demand for low-carbon energy solutions and a growing need to support future development, Belfast Harbour required a strategic approach to renewable energy that would align with its sustainability ambitions while accounting for infrastructure, regulatory and operational considerations across the estate. Arthian delivered a comprehensive renewable energy feasibility study and decarbonisation roadmap for the Belfast Harbour estate. The project involved reviewing energy demand patterns, existing infrastructure, and the potential rollout of a range of renewable and low-carbon technologies in supporting the harbour’s net-zero ambitions.
The client required a robust understanding of ground conditions and potential environmental liabilities to support the redevelopment of an operational industrial site. Arthian delivered a targeted intrusive site investigation in accordance with BS 10175 and the Environment Agency’s Land Contamination Risk Management (LCRM) guidance. The programme included borehole installation, soil and groundwater sampling, laboratory analysis and the development of a detailed Conceptual Site Model (CSM) to assess potential contaminant linkages across the site.
Arthian provided contaminated land support for a major electricity network infrastructure improvement project in London delivered under a Development Consent Order (DCO). The scheme involved the reconductoring of 53 existing electricity pylons, the demolition of one existing pylon and the construction of two new pylons across five Local Planning Authority areas.
Arthian was appointed in April 2025 as part of the integrated delivery team to strengthen carbon management, align governance with PAS 2080, and turn complex carbon data into actionable insights. The programme supported ambitious whole life carbon reduction objectives and contributed towards a target of achieving BREEAM Infrastructure 75% (‘Excellent’).
