Direct peers

• SLR Consulting: SLR is an independent environmental and advisory consultancy with a strong UK presence providing air quality, ecology, contaminated land, EIA, and planning support services to developers and planners.

• Wardell Armstrong: Wardell Armstrong is a UK-based multidisciplinary environmental, planning, and engineering consultancy delivering ecology, contaminated land, air quality, and EIA services to support planning applications. It directly overlaps with ACP's full multidisciplinary offering for the same UK property developer and architect customer base.

Broad incumbents

It serves the same property developer and planning customers as ACP but at significantly greater scale and project complexity.

It serves the same developer and planner customer base but at considerably larger scale and geographic reach.
• Arcadis: Arcadis is a global design, engineering, and environmental consultancy with UK planning application support including EIA, ecology, air quality, and sustainability assessments. It overlaps with ACP's multidisciplinary service mix but operates across a much wider portfolio of environmental, water, and resilience work.
• WSP Environment: WSP is a global professional services firm with a large UK environment and planning practice covering EIA, ecology, air quality, noise, contaminated land, and climate assessment. It competes with ACP on the same planning application workstreams but as part of a much broader infrastructure and environmental portfolio.
• Royal HaskoningDHV: Royal HaskoningDHV is an international engineering and environmental consultancy with UK capabilities in EIA, ecology, air quality, contaminated land, and sustainability for planning and development projects. It is comparable to ACP in service offering but competes as a broad incumbent across multiple sectors and geographies.
• Mott MacDonald: Mott MacDonald is a major global engineering and environmental consultancy with significant UK planning and development capabilities covering EIA, ecology, contaminated land, and sustainability.
