Our Services
Feasibility Studies
Our many years’ experience means we can conduct feasibility studies that quickly and accurately determine whether your project is viable on several levels and we can also advise alternatives.
Planning
Preparing a detailed planning application for a project is becoming increasingly complex. With many years’ experience of the planning process, we have detailed knowledge of exactly what is required for a successful detailed planning submission.
We act as planning consultant on many of our schemes which includes Policy analysis, Design and Access Statements and LVIA’S
Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs)
Larger projects have the potential to require a full Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). We will prepare the necessary details required to determine whether an EIA is necessary.
If a full Environmental Statement is required, we will undertake the Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment and co-ordinate the preparation of studies from other consultants such as ecology, traffic impact assessment and hydrology, as well as liaise with all the different parties involved.
Detailed colour artwork, photomontages and computer-generated views can be produced either for planning or marketing purposes.
Following planning submission, Weller Designs Ltd will manage the provision of further information to the authorities as required, either during the consultation phase or for the discharge of planning conditions following approval.
Grant and Funding Scheme Applications
Grants and match funding
Public bodies like Sport England, London Marathon Charitable Trust, Entrust, The Football Association, British Cycling and local councils are keen to fund or match-fund local sports and leisure projects that meet certain criteria.
Grant applications require specialist skills and Weller Designs has successfully accessed funding for over 130 projects that might otherwise not have been viable or that have been more ambitious than originally imagined.
Using recovered soil to fund sports and leisure projects
Weller Designs has experience accessing funding through soil recovery; soil is a non-renewable resource and the UK Government and Environment Agency are keen that it does not end up in landfill.
Soil can be taken out of construction sites and used in sports- and leisure-based schemes, offsetting or covering the costs by commanding a royalty for allowing soil hauliers to deposit their soil at an approved site.
This royalty varies from project to project and each scheme has its own planning and Environment Agency requirements.
Private investors
Weller Designs also works with investors and other private funding organisations who could be introduced to schemes.
Project Management
Weller Designs Ltd will assist with the tender process to appoint a construction contractor.
We have the experience to offer the full range of plans and specification documents for tender, as well as contract administration, project management and site supervision for the full term of the development. We undertake regular site visits to check progress, conduct meetings with the contractor to review progress and liaise with the client.
For ongoing development of the leisure facility , Weller Designs Sport produces management plans for facility maintenance and landscape development.
