Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA)

Environmental Impact Assessment and Environmental Statements are important tools. They aid and inform the decision process of statutory bodies when approving new large developments. We aim to produce effective and focussed reports in a concise, cost-effective manner. The central roles of environmental co-ordination and of collating, editing and writing an Environmental Statement are critical to the successful outcome of a planning application and Public Inquiry. We have extensive experience and expertise in this pivotal role. Environmental Impact Assessments may rely on a wide range of technical expertise. These include landscape and visual assessment, ecology, nature, noise, air quality, water quality, ground quality, archaeology, hydrology and other key topics relevant to the project. Our expertise at EIA is also recognised in our capacity as an independent auditor of EIA's produced by other consultants. We believe that communicating environmental implications to Clients and to Statutory Bodies is crucial. Equally important is relating this information to a wider audience, in a manner that is understood by all. We have considerable experience in Public Consultations. We have also acted on numerous occasions as Expert Witness for Statutory Bodies and private Clients and investors on a range of transport related infrastructure projects and private housing schemes. We pride ourselves on providing our Clients with advice on often litigious environmental matters, to provide the right environmental solution without compromising quality and design.
