Origination Pipelines
Support renewable developers and project originators reviewing several opportunities.
Multi-site review • consistent framework • early prioritisation
Portfolio Screening
A consistent early-stage comparison of multiple development opportunities.
Portfolio Screening helps developers, advisers and land teams understand how selected planning, environmental, land and infrastructure constraints vary across several sites before committing the same level of detailed work to every opportunity.
Purpose
When several sites are under consideration, it can be difficult to decide where further time and budget should be focused.
Portfolio Screening applies the same early assessment framework across the sites so that key differences can be identified more easily.
The purpose is to support prioritisation and further review.
Applications
Land Options
Compare several parcels or possible development locations on a consistent basis.
Initial Site Sifts
Focus closer review on the sites that appear to justify further work.
Typical Review Themes
The exact assessment framework depends on the project and portfolio.
Planning and Landscape
Selected planning, policy and landscape constraints.
Ecology and Heritage
Protected sites, habitats and mapped heritage constraints.
Flooding and Land
Flood risk, hydrology and agricultural land information where relevant.
Access
Public rights of way and strategic road context.
Infrastructure
Electricity infrastructure and relevant nearby renewable development.
Project-Specific Matters
Additional mapped criteria can be agreed where they are useful to the screening exercise.
Typical Outputs
Portfolio Comparison
A consistent comparison of the sites using the agreed assessment themes.
Shortlist and Site-Level Review
Identification of sites that appear to warrant closer review, with Assessment Overviews for selected sites where required.
Supporting Mapping and Summary
Maps and a concise written summary of the main differences across the portfolio.
Scope and Limitations
Portfolio Screening is an early-stage comparison service.
It does not determine planning acceptability or replace detailed assessment of shortlisted sites.
A site that performs well at portfolio stage may still require further planning, environmental, grid, access or technical investigation.
Portfolio Screening Enquiries
Provide the site boundaries or locations, proposed project type and any existing screening criteria. We will confirm the appropriate scope and fee based on the number of sites and level of review required.
Please email site boundaries, plans or other attachments to hello@firstfeasibility.co.uk. See our Privacy Policy for how enquiry information is used.
Consistent early-stage comparison to support proportionate site prioritisation.
