Expert Witness Services
EMC provides expert witness services to support clients in the courts and in planning inquiries.
Recent work has included the preparation of expert reports in support of developments on brown field and green field sites and has provided evidence against the inappropriate development of waste management sites. These reports related variously to ecological aspects of developments, flood risk and drainage issues and the potential adverse health effects of bio-aerosols resulting from a poorly conceived composting site proposal.
Case study
Water pollution investigation to defend proposed prosecution
The regional development agency, Yorkshire Forward, were threatened with prosecution for allegedly causing pollution to controlled water. Environmental Management Consultants staff investigated the pollution incident and quickly determined the cause of the pollution. Subsequently a neighbouring industrial site was prosecuted for the pollution incident that Yorkshire Forward were initially being held responsible for.
