Planning Potential

Environmental Assessment

Planning Potential can undertake the full coordination of Environmental Impact Assessments, including the instruction and co-ordination of the EIA team.

The team also provide specialist Socio-Economic Impact Chapter Assessments, incorporating the effects on employment, education and local expenditure.

Environmental Assessment is a complex process running in parallel with planning and our team has experience of co-ordinating the Assessments and managing the teams on projects raising issues of;

• Reuse of extensive Listed Buildings
• Development in sensitive heritage settings
• Development of land affected by industrial contamination, noise and air pollution
• Major urban regeneration impacts

We provide a service for the screening and scoping of Environmental Statements, are familiar with the detailed legislation in this area, and will undertake appeals to the Secretary of State if we consider a full EIA is not required.
