What a milestone! Back in 2019 we successfully secured planning permission for this UK-first CCU facility and it's fantastic to hear about this achievement 👏

Project lead and Director Martin Pollard, "We’re thrilled to have secured outline planning consent for the prestigious Green Ridge Resort in Cornwall. This innovative tourism development will offer high-quality accommodation and facilities, providing an escape from urban life while addressing Cornwall’s climate emergency... Incorporating sustainable measures such as an on-site solar farm, Green Ridge will contribute significantly to tackling climate change in the Duchy. Beyond its environmental impact, the project will deliver major economic benefits, creating more than 200 permanent jobs and generating £26m in annual local spend - helping to combat seasonal employment and boosting Cornwall’s tourism industry year-round. A huge thanks to our client KINGSLEY DEVELOPMENTS (S W) LIMITED and the dedicated project team of CAD Architects Ltd, Stephen Twiss, Hydrock, now Stantec, Spalding Associates Environmental Ltd, SW Archaeology, SUMO Services, Evolve Tree Consultancy, Ecological Lighting Solutions & Stephens Scown, who have worked tirelessly over the past two years to make this vision a reality. A great achievement for everyone involved!" #Planning #Sustainability #NetZero #EconomicGrowth #TourismDevelopment #RenewableEnergy #Cornwall #GreenInfrastructure #ClimateAction #JobCreation #EnvironmentalConsulting #SustainableTourism #UrbanEscape #EcoDevelopment

"If the deal were to go through, it would open up the area around Old Trafford stadium for the delivery of around 20,000 homes, a new stadium, offices, and leisure facilities." Axis is delighted to be providing landscape consultancy services through to DCO submission on the Intermodal Logistics Park North project, a strategically important rail freight terminal which would create growth and jobs in the north-west, while allowing more goods to be transported via rail and freeing up roads from HGVs.

We were thrilled to see the West Kirby Grammar School sports hall project secure planning permission last week! This development will provide state-of-the-art facilities for students, enhance the 6th form experience, and serve as a much-needed sports hub for the local community during evenings. Lee Kendall, who led on the transport-related aspects of the project, shared: "It’s been a real pleasure supporting the school’s leadership on this scheme and collaborating with such a fantastic applicant team, including Pozzoni Architecture Limited. We can't wait to see the finished building in action once it's completed! This is a great example of how thoughtful planning can deliver benefits beyond the school gates, supporting both education and community wellbeing."   #CommunityImpact #PlanningSuccess #EnvironmentalConsultancy #SustainableDevelopment #Collaboration #TransportPlanning #SustainableTransport #InfrastructureDevelopment

We celebrated our recent solar successes - helping Infinis secure planning permission on both Aveley and Dogsthorpe Solar Parks - by taking the Infinis team to Chester Races. A fantastic time was had by all, and some of us even bagged a winner! 🏆 Image L-R: Alistair Hoyle, Liz Russell, Jack Kitchener, James Blythe, Claire Hannan, Laura Mackey, John Meehan, Siân Hayle, Jason McGray. #LandfillSolar #Renewables #NetZero #LowCarbon #SolarEnergy #RenewableEnergy #SustainableFuture #PlanningPermission #CleanEnergy #SolarSuccess #ChesterRaces #WinningTogether #GreenInfrastructure #EnvironmentalConsulting #Sustainability #CelebratingSuccess #EnergyTransition

🌍 This World Town Planning Day, let’s acknowledge the critical role that town planning plays in creating not only homes, but sustainable, resilient, and well-supported communities. And while planning is essential to deliver new homes, we can’t overlook the vital infrastructure needed to make these communities thrive... From clean power to sustainable waste management and flood protection, infrastructure planning is just as foundational to our neighbourhoods as the homes themselves. It’s the key to creating places where people can live safely, sustainably, and comfortably. At Axis, we’re passionate about building communities that last - and we’re looking for driven, skilled town planners, environmental consultants, and infrastructure experts to join us in making a difference. Are you ready to shape the future of communities with Axis? If you want to be part of a team committed to planning not only homes but also the sustainable infrastructure around them, we'd love to hear from you. Please email us at enquiries@axis.co.uk with an intro about you and your CV. #WTPD #WorldTownPlanningDay2024 #WorldTownPlanningDay #TownPlanning #InfrastructurePlanning #SustainableCommunities #PlanningForTheFuture #JoinOurTeam #AxisCareers #LifeAtAxis #WorkCulture #GreatPlaceToWork

At Axis, we're proud to be at the forefront of environmental innovation. Back in 2019 we successfully secured planning permission for the UK's first industrial Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) facility on behalf of Tata Chemicals Europe. Project Lead David Adams said, "This groundbreaking project was followed by approval of schemes required as Conditions Precedent, and then subsequently planning permission for the world's first EcoKarb net zero Sodium Bicarbonate facility, which repurposes CO₂ from the new CCU plant to produce premium-grade sodium bicarbonate for export worldwide. Since the initial CCU approval, our team has worked on numerous pivotal projects for many of our clients in a wide variety of sectors, that collectively drive the UK closer to its decarbonisation goals." If you're interested in learning how we can support your projects in securing the planning consents needed to achieve net zero, don’t hesitate to reach out. Together, we can build the infrastructure needed for a sustainable future 🌱 https://lnkd.in/eCuFjHnh #CarbonCapture #Decarbonisation #NetZero #EnvironmentalPlanning #SustainableInfrastructure #EcoKarb #ProjectNatrium #GreenInnovation #Sustainability

Martin Sekac, former CAD Manager at Axis, has recently secured a new job in London. We asked him how his experience at Axis has been, and he said, "Working at Axis was both exciting and challenging, providing the perfect environment to develop my design and software skills, which prepared me well for my Master’s degree and my postgraduate job. I received great support along the way - during times when I was uncertain about my next career steps, conversations with Jon Mason were invaluable. He offered guidance that helped me clarify my goals and even supported me through my Master’s application process. Axis offered a competitive salary and the flexibility to continue working part-time during my studies. The team had great dynamics, and I genuinely enjoyed the social events. What a pleasure to work for Axis." We wish Martin all the best in his new endeavours 👏 #companyculture #perksofthejob #recruitment #hiring #worklifebalance #workplacewellness #futureofwork #careerdevelopment #teamculture #lifeataxis #workculture #teamwork #employeeexperience #greatplacetowork #flexibleworking

Our latest companywide social event saw us take a trip back in time to the early nineties to 'The Crystal Maze Live Experience'. Our three teams tested their skills, solved mysteries and faced mental & physical challenges to win crystals in a setting remarkably true to Richard O’Brien’s Channel 4 game show. The more crystals the teams won, the more time they had for the final test in... The Crystal Dome. And the winning team? Team 2 was triumphant with the highest final score 🏆 A fun and entertaining evening was had by all! Next up... the Christmas party! #companyculture #perksofthejob #autumnsocial #officeculture #recruitment #hiring #worklifebalance #workplacewellness #success #companyvalues #jobs #futureofwork #wellbeing #careerdevelopment #teamculture #mentalhealth

"Looking forward to catching up with friends and colleagues at the North West Hydrogen Alliance (NWHA) Full Members Meeting at Swagelok, Manchester tomorrow. For those who don’t know, the NWHA brings together many of the UKs most influential organisations looking to develop and expand the nation’s leading regional hydrogen economy. Axis is very proud to have been a partnership member of the NWHA for several years, and with the help and support of the Alliance, we have continued to service our clients by successfully securing consent for the vital infrastructure needed in the conversion, capture, transport and storage of both hydrogen and CO2."
