Question

Your multidisciplinary firm has also been engaged by NDL as the Quantity Surveyor for the project, which is now in the process of construction. The development received planning permission followinga lengthy opposition campaign by local residents, who were concerned about issues of daylighting,noise and air pollution. They also argued that the building used materials which could have beensourced locally, but which are being imported from outside of the UK.In the past month, the residents' group has staged demonstrations at the site entrance, claiming thatthe project is damaging and unethical. You have seen independent reports which offer some evidencethat daylighting to surrounding buildings will be very much reduced because of the development, andthat noise and air pollution during construction (2 years) will be significant.
