Environmental Impact Assessment

What are environmental impact assessments?

Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) are used to assess and analyse the potential consequences of a proposed project or development on the environment.

What happens during an environmental impact assessment?

An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is an assessment of the possible impacts that a proposed project may have on the environment. It can be completed as part of an Environmental Statement under the Environmental Impact Assessment regulations.

The Ecology Co-operation have worked on natural gas pipe lines, landfill sites, reservoir and industrial developments.

We have the experience necessary

  • To detail mitigation for a development within the ecology section of your EIA.

  • To write construction method statements for reducing environmental impact during development phases.

  • To negotiate with planning authorities to help achieve a balanced result.

When can environmental impact assessments take place?

Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) typically occur during the planning and decision-making stages of a project, before any construction or implementation begins.

EIAs can take place across various sectors, including infrastructure development, transportation systems, mining operations and energy projects. They are particularly important when projects involve sensitive ecosystems, endangered species, or habitats that could be adversely affected.

By conducting EIAs early in the project lifecycle, potential environmental risks can be identified and mitigation measures developed proactively to minimise adverse impacts.
