Environmental Impact Assessments
Our team has substantial experience in the environmental impact assessment (‘EIA’) process and the production of Environmental Statements. This has spanned a number of sectors including mixed-use regeneration, housing, retail, employment and energy. Our EIA work is underpinned by up-to-date knowledge and detailed understanding of the planning process, the EIA Regulations and statutory obligations. Early engagement with the EIA process can often lead to more efficient delivery of projects and allowing mitigation to be built into projects at the outset.
Our expertise covers:
- Screening reports
- Scoping reports
- EIA co-ordination and production of Environmental Statements
- Socio-economic assessments
- Retail and leisure impact assessments
