We’re on a mission

Envams supports the low carbon energy transition by facilitating the responsible development of renewable energy generation projects.  Envams does this by providing high quality environmental assessment and management services to renewable energy developers, achieving consents with objective advice. 

About Us

Envams provides environmental advice, surveys and reports to achieve consent for large-scale ground-mounted solar, onshore wind, offshore wind and other types of renewable energy development. 

We are qualified Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) practitioners, experienced in delivering Town and Country Planning Act (TCPA) applications, Development Consent Order (DCO) applications, Section 36 and other consent applications. Envams staff have extensive experience and a strong track record in achieving consents for large-scale, complex renewable energy schemes.

We can provide project co-ordination services, in addition to the full range of environmental services through a mix of in-house staff and carefully selected sub-consultants.

Envams was created in 2022 to provide efficient, agile environmental consultancy services that are in high demand in the renewable energy sector.  Envams leadership is well connected and well placed to deliver this having worked in the sector for almost 20 years. 

Envams is UK-based, with staff located principally in northern England.
