What is a Construction Environmental
Management Plan ?

A Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) sets out how environmental impacts associated with construction activity will be managed throughout the construction programme. It demonstrates how construction works will minimise environmental impact while protecting neighbouring communities and sensitive environments.

Typical environmental considerations addressed within a CEMP

  • Dust Suppression Measures
  • Noise and Vibration Control
  • Construction Water Management
  • Pollution Prevention
  • Surface Water Protection
  • Protection of Neighbouring Properties

When Are CEMPs Required?

Planning authorities commonly require a Construction Environmental Management Plan to be submitted where a development may generate environmental impacts during construction.

"No development shall commence until a Construction
Environmental Management Plan has been submitted
to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority."

These requirements commonly apply where developments may generate environmental impacts during construction.

Our CEMP Preparation Process

Project Review


We review your development and site conditions to identify the environmental risks and planning requirements relevant to your CEMP.

Environmental Strategy Development

We develop environmental management strategies tailored to your site, covering dust, noise, water, and pollution controls.

Preparation of Environmental Documentation

We prepare the CEMP documentation to the standard required by your Local Planning Authority.

Planning Submission Support

We support your submission and liaise with the LPA to help secure approval and discharge the relevant planning condition.

Projects Requiring CEMPs

Construction Environmental Management Plans may include measures addressing:

  • Works management
  • Surface water protection
  • Pollution prevention
  • Environmental monitoring procedures
