Your Essential First Step in Responsible Land Development
When planning a construction project, redevelopment, or property transaction, understanding the environmental history of your site is critical. Adeptus phase 1 desk studies offer a vital starting point for identifying potential risks and liabilities associated with land contamination. As a trusted provider in the UK, adeptus delivers expert-led, fixed-cost environmental assessments tailored to your specific site requirements.
What Is a Phase 1 Desk Study and Why Is It Important?
A phase 1 desk study is an initial environmental site assessment that evaluates potential contamination risks based on historical land use, regulatory information, and site-specific data. This non-intrusive investigation helps determine whether further environmental testing (such as a Phase 2 intrusive investigation) is necessary.
The purpose of this assessment is to inform developers, landowners, and planning authorities about possible environmental liabilities. Adeptus phase 1 desk studies are often a prerequisite for planning applications, environmental due diligence, and securing development financing. These reports are also crucial for ensuring compliance with environmental regulations and protecting public health and the environment.
What Makes Adeptus Phase 1 Desk Studies Stand Out?
Adeptus is known for its thorough and professional approach to environmental consultancy. Their phase 1 desk studies combine technical expertise, detailed research, and clear presentation, giving clients the confidence to proceed with their projects.
Adeptus phase 1 desk studies include:
- Historical Ordnance Survey map analysis
- Aerial photography and land use review
- Site reconnaissance and walkover survey
- Consultation with environmental databases and regulators
- Assessment of geology, hydrology, and hydrogeology
- Identification of potential contamination sources, pathways, and receptors
- Conceptual site model (CSM)

The team at adeptus prepares reports that align with the requirements of the Environment Agency, local planning authorities, and lending institutions. These documents are not only comprehensive but also clearly written, allowing clients and regulators to understand key findings with ease.
Fixed-Cost Transparency and Fast Turnaround
One of the standout features of Adeptus phase 1 desk studies is the fixed-cost pricing model. Adeptus provides upfront quotes that eliminate hidden fees and unexpected costs.

This speed, combined with quality and accuracy, makes adeptus a preferred partner for time-sensitive projects.
