Viridian Air is a specialist air quality consultancy bringing together academic research, policy engagement and practical field experience to deliver rigorous, trusted assessments across the UK.
Viridian Air is a specialist air quality consultancy providing assessment, monitoring and advisory services across England, Scotland and Wales. We work with property developers, planning consultants, architects, contractors, local authorities and industry. Our work spans the full range of air quality assessments in the UK planning system: from rapid screening assessments for smaller residential schemes through to detailed dispersion modelling chapters for major Environmental Impact Assessments. Beyond planning, we serve clients in occupational health, pharmaceutical manufacturing, aerospace and life sciences who require independent monitoring services and regulatory compliance support.
We believe air quality consultancy should be proportionate, transparent and genuinely useful. That means:
Viridian Air draws on an unusually deep academic, technical and policy background. Our team members are affiliated with professional organisations including Institute of Air Quality Management (IAQM) and the Institution of Environmental Sciences (IES). Our scientific advisor is a Fellow of the IAQM, a Chartered Scientist and a Chartered Environmentalist. Our team has been actively engaged in UK air quality monitoring, management, and policy development.
This policy grounding means our assessments are prepared with a detailed understanding of how guidance is developed, interpreted and applied by regulators, which translates directly into assessments that stand up to scrutiny.
We operate across all regions of England, Scotland and Wales, covering every major planning authority. We have experience of working in Air Quality Management Areas in major UK cities as well as rural, and other semi-urban settings where ecological sensitivities are the primary concern.
We confirm what is required before any work begins and provide fixed-fee quotations based on honest scope assessment. No hidden charges, no scope creep.
We apply the right level of assessment for each scheme, from a brief screening note for a straightforward application to full dispersion modelling for a complex EIA. We never over-engineer.
We communicate directly with local authority air quality officers throughout the assessment process, which means issues are resolved early rather than at validation or appeal.
We understand that air quality reports are often on the critical path for planning submissions. We commit to realistic timescales and deliver to programme.
We remain available to respond to local authority queries after submission. Our job is not finished until consent is granted.
As a specialist independent consultancy we offer rates that are highly competitive with larger firms without compromising on the quality or thoroughness of the work.
Tell us about your scheme and we will confirm what is required and provide a fixed-fee quotation within 24 hours.
