HBC JB Servizi di consulenza sulla stabilità del terreno (ESPH779)

Hastings Borough Council is located within an area of complex geology characterised by coastal cliffs, steep slopes and areas susceptible to ground instability and landslip. As a result, development proposals submitted to the Local Planning Authority frequently require supporting land stability and geotechnical assessments to demonstrate that development can be undertaken safely and without increasing risks to property, infrastructure or public safety. The Council requires access to specialist geotechnical and land stability expertise to: A) support planning officers in reviewing such submissions and determining whether development proposals are acceptable from a land stability perspective; and B) support planning enforcement officers during investigations into unauthorised works where land stability issues may arise. The purpose of this contract is to provide independent professional geotechnical advice to the Council on an ad-hoc basis in support of the planning application and enforcement process.
