Clear answers about our reports and process.

The exact scope depends on the product. A Phase 1 Desktop Study typically brings together the defined site boundary, historical land-use evidence, environmental setting, a preliminary conceptual site model where relevant, consultant interpretation, limitations and recommendations. A CMRA focuses specifically on coal-mining legacy and development implications.

No. The free screening is a preliminary indication designed to surface useful signals before purchase. It does not replace the detailed evidence review, professional interpretation, limitations and reasoned conclusions of a Phase 1 Desktop Study.

Site Reports Direct is operated by EnviroSolution Limited. Professional reports move through a consultant review and controlled issue process. Automation assists evidence gathering and workflow; it does not take responsibility for the final professional conclusion.

A postcode or address can be too imprecise for environmental due diligence. The stored boundary gives the screening and report a consistent spatial reference, helping the reviewer understand what is on-site, adjacent and nearby.

Your confirmed site, product, project details and uploaded information are carried into the technical workflow. Relevant evidence is assembled, reviewed and interpreted before the report is approved and issued.

Yes. The combined Phase 1 and CMRA package is available where both land-contamination and coal-mining assessment are required. If you are unsure, contact us with the site and planning requirement.

The published prices are standard online prices for qualifying scopes. Larger, unusual or more complex sites can require additional work. If the scope changes, any additional charge is reviewed and agreed before that extra work proceeds.

The online standard scope currently applies to qualifying sites up to 5 hectares. Larger sites can still be assessed, but may need a bespoke quotation.

Each product has a stated standard turnaround in the report catalogue. The actual delivery date can depend on scope, information availability and, for walkover products, access arrangements. The order process makes the applicable scope clear.

The workflow uses relevant environmental datasets, mapping and historical evidence for the selected product and site. The professional report explains the information used, its limitations and the consultant interpretation. Historical screening in the platform includes dated Ordnance Survey mapping sourced through the National Library of Scotland mapping service where suitable coverage is available.

No. A recorded feature only becomes meaningful when its nature, age, distance, setting and plausible relationship to the site are considered. That distinction is one reason professional interpretation is important.

Lack of suitable historical mapping is not treated as an environmental all-clear. The report or screening must be read in the context of the evidence that was actually available and the limitations stated.

Professional reports are issued through the Site Reports Direct project workflow. The issue record retains the report version and associated project information so the delivery is controlled and traceable.

Yes. Use the contact page and include your order or report reference so the team can identify the relevant instruction.

Send us the site address, planning condition or project brief. We can help identify whether the free screening, Phase 1, walkover, CMRA or a bespoke consultancy route is appropriate.
