See anaerobic digestion planning applications first

Anaerobic digestion work reaches the planning register in more forms than a single new plant. Each type of application is a different door into the project, and you receive all of them.

New plants put the whole build up for grabs

A full application for a new digester on a farm, an industrial estate or a food factory is the biggest prize on the register. Groundworks, tanks, reception buildings, gas plant, electrics, roads and landscaping are all still to be bought, and the applicant is choosing the team now.

Extensions and extra capacity bring repeat work on live sites

Operators apply to add digesters, storage tanks, feedstock clamps and digestate lagoons, or to lift annual throughput. These are fast-moving jobs on sites with a proven owner and a budget already in place.

Gas upgrading and grid connections mean specialist orders

Applications to switch a plant from electricity generation to biomethane injection bring upgrading units, compressors, propane enrichment and grid entry equipment. For suppliers and mechanical and electrical contractors, these are the highest-value specialist orders in the sector.

Engines, flares and plant changes mean installation and service work

New combined heat and power engines, replacement flares, boilers and transformers each carry their own application. Every one needs supplying, installing, connecting and maintaining.

Variations, conditions and screening requests show a project on the move

Applications to change operating hours, feedstock or vehicle numbers tell you a site is growing. Submissions to discharge conditions tell you a build is about to start. Screening and scoping requests come first of all and put you in front of a plant months before the full application lands.

The businesses that win AD contracts all start the same way: they know the project exists before their competitors do. Here is how each one turns a planning application into signed work.

Civil engineering and groundworks contractors win the first package on site

Earthworks, concrete bases, drainage, bunds, lagoons and access roads come first on every plant. You read the site plan, price the civils and put a number in front of the developer before the decision is issued.

Tank, digester and building manufacturers get specified early

Tank heights and diameters are fixed in the planning drawings. Reach the agent while those drawings are still changing and your product becomes the one the council approves.

Gas, engine and electrical suppliers land the long-lead orders

Upgrading units, combined heat and power engines, flares, boilers, switchgear and grid connections take months to deliver. Your early call puts you on the developer's shortlist while the process design is open.

Consultants and architects win the next stage of the scheme

Odour, noise, ecology, transport and drainage specialists step in when consultees ask for more information. Architects and engineers pick up reception halls, offices and detailed design. You bring the answer the applicant needs to get approved, and you win the instruction.

Agricultural builders, plant hire and maintenance firms fill their diary for years

Steel frame buildings, feedstock clamps, hire equipment and long service contracts follow every plant. Win your place on the build and you hold the site for the life of the plant.

Leads sends you new planning applications that match your keywords, nationwide or in the areas you choose, the day councils publish them, in one email a day. Set your keywords to the words applicants use for this work and your inbox fills with AD plant leads every morning.

Every lead tells you who to call and what they are building

Each lead carries the planning reference, site address, council, the description of the work, application type, key dates, decision status and a link to the council's own record. You also get the applicant, the agent firm and the business contact wherever the council publishes them. You read the scheme, you know the decision-makers, and you make the call that morning.

You choose the patch you work in

Cover the whole country, or set up to 5 areas, each a radius of up to 75 miles from a postcode or town, or a whole council. A regional groundworks firm watches its own counties. A national tank supplier watches the entire UK.

You track every lead from first call to signed contract

The lead pipeline records who you contacted, who you quoted and what you won, so no project slips through. Leads also includes everything in Research: search, advanced filters and CSV export, so you build target lists of every plant in your region and plan your next sales campaign.

One clear price

Leads costs £49 + VAT a month. Watching a plant proposed next to your own land or business? Anyone gets free email alerts for planning applications near an address, postcode, town or council.
