- Historical Land Use information
- Environmental Permits, Incidents and Registers
- Hydrology and Hydrogeology data including abstractions, source protection zones (SPZ), now with SPZ within confined aquifers

Utility Essentials
This report gives visibility of the 5 key services – Gas, Electric, Water, Sewage and BT Openreach.
Product DetailsThe Essentials report is collated and delivered in 5 working days* and is ideal for remote sites where only the main utility providers are likely to be present or projects where the aim is merely to check the availability of the main utilities (water/sewer, gas, electric and BT) e.g. in the planning stages of a new development.
*Due to the extensive nature of some searches, the number of utilities searched, and the response timescales imposed by some utility suppliers, it can happen that not all responses are received within the relevant timeframe. When this does occur, your report will be delivered with all available content as requested, and a final report will be delivered as soon as the outstanding information has been received.
