Environmental Impact Assessment

Minimising impact and ensuring proportionate response

We believe that setting the right strategy to meet your objectives from the beginning is the best way to realise value, manage risk and deliver positive outcomes. A cornerstone of our service is strategising to assist you in navigating the (what can be a complex) interface between regulation, programme, planning, consenting, licensing, confidentiality, team assembly and project design to achieve project success.

For clients with particularly complex, novel or high-profile proposals, we offer Strategic Environmental Advisory — a senior leadership role that sits above and alongside the EIA process. This positions environmental expertise at the heart of project strategy, helping you to anticipate regulatory risk and make informed decisions before formal assessment begins.

We take the time to listen to you, establishing your goals and work with you to drive better project outcomes. We tailor the approach, methodology and strategy to suit each client and each project.

We are thought leaders. Our team are active contributors to national discussions on the future of EIA, participating in the Institute of Sustainability and Environmental Professionals (ISEP) UK Impact Assessment Steering Group and in ongoing roundtables with legal professionals and government advisors.

Working with ISEP, we have contributed to the authorship of national guidance documents on delivering proportionality in EIA, responses to Government white papers and sponsor and present at impact assessment conferences. This places us right where we need to be to navigate you through National regulatory change, across: England (including the upcoming transition to Environmental Outcome Regulations); Wales; Scotland; and Northern Ireland.

Our EIA Services

We go above and beyond on project work – with a mind on broader project stewardship and delivery, thinking outside of our specific scope and lane to the betterment of project delivery and proportionate outcomes.

Our shared drive to deliver proportionate outcomes, ie. only what the regulations require us to, demystifying regulatory and technical process, is delivered through our EIA services.

We manage project risks, stakeholder dialogue and setting the framework for EIA during design and assessment. Working with you, we will establish the most appropriate path through EIA legislation to ensure the right outcome for your proposals.
