ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES

The environmental assessment process is critical to sustainable development, and it guides planning, social and economic decisions around all development works. The environmental assessment process helps analyse the potential impacts of development projects on the receiving environment and also provides opportunities to enhance the environment.

​

Our team  can assist clients a wide range of projects and specialises in environmental assessments and planning process coordination through a combination of in-house team and sub-consultants to cover every discipline including air quality and climate, noise and vibration, population and human health, biodiversity, geology, hydrogeology, hydrology, land use, archaeology and cultural heritage, landscape, visual impact, traffic and transportation, waste, material assets, and stakeholder engagement.

​

We also can carry out Appropriate Assessment (AA) screening and the scoping and management of Appropriate Assessments to coordinate the delivery of Natura Impact Statements. The Habitats Directive sets out the requirement for Appropriate Assessment (AA) to determine the implications of a project or a plan on Natura 2000 sites (SACs and SPAs). A Screening for Appropriate Assessment report (AASR) establishes the need for AA for a project or plan. Where an AA is required, a Natura Impact Statement (NIS) must be prepared, which is a report of a scientific examination of evidence and data, carried out by competent persons to identify and classify any implications for Natura 2000 sites in view of the conservation objectives of the site.
