Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and Statement (EIS) Production


Certain developments must be assessed for likely environmental impacts before planning permission can be granted. The purpose of EIA is to allow the planning and regulatory authorities to make reasoned, well-informed judgements about the likely environmental impacts of a specific project. To achieve this, a number of environmental studies are required.

Studies are undertaken in a series of stages, such as the screening; scoping; impact assesment; mitigation; and statement (EIS) production stages. Each of these stages must be done to a standard that will satisfy the requirements as specified by planning and regulatory authorities.

BEC can manage and coordinate a project through all stages of an Environmental Impacts Assessment, from statutory consultations through to Statement Production and on to the decision making process. BEC have developed a partnership network of specialist subconsultants to create a complete Environmental Impact Assessment. All BEC specialists are qualified experts in their respective discipline, members of a relevant chartered body and trained expert witnesses.

Specialist assessments available to BEC include: If you would like more information on BEC's experience in coordinating and producing Environmental Impact Statements, or on any of our specialist sub-consultants, please Contact us.
