In our latest video, the Brookbanks civil engineering share some quick tips on a question that many developers and stakeholders face: What's a frequent post planning delay for civil engineering?
While securing planning consent is a major milestone, it’s often just the beginning of a complex journey. The team breaks down the key factors that can slow progress—and shares practical insights on how to navigate them.
Brookbanks advocates for a proactive approach—identifying critical conditions early and preparing discharge packages in parallel with technical design.
Delays post-planning are often avoidable, but only with the right foresight, coordination, and technical rigour. At Brookbanks, we work closely with clients to anticipate these challenges and keep infrastructure delivery on track.

In this thought-provoking Podcast episode, hosted by Ben Wakeling, Rob Houlston, Structural Engineer and Shawn Galliers, Director of Sustainability, explores how structural engineering can play a pivotal role in the reuse of existing buildings, offering both sustainability and cost-efficiency benefits. Drawing parallels with other industries-like fashion, electronics, and automotives.
As the climate emergency intensifies, the role of structural engineers is evolving rapidly. No longer confined to ensuring buildings stand strong, today’s engineers are being called upon to help shape a low-carbon, sustainable future.
