New: Digital Reporting for EIA’s
Digital environmental impact assessments are increasingly important in helping developers to bring forward developments that respond directly to the needs of communities – and as COP26 approaches, the opportunity to switch to paperless digital reporting is particularly timely. Contact Rebecca McLean for more information about digital reporting.
Environmental empowerment
Historically, EIAs have taken the form of text-heavy, physical documents that are time-consuming for project teams to compile – but crucially, are even more time consuming for local communities to read and understand. By digitalising our assessments on a live, interactive document that is accessible to all, it is easier to reach a far wider audience who can read and comment on plans, maps and videos, from their smartphones.
With our interactive digital EIAs, citizens and key stakeholders are empowered to access planning applications quickly and easily, creating the conditions for developers to bring forward projects that truly serve the needs of end users.
Through the implementation of directive requirements and contributions to associated industry guidance, we continue to be at the forefront of this field. We address climate change mitigation and adaptation at the earliest stages of a project, which enables potentially significant effects to be mitigated.
