Environmental Coordination and Environmental Management Services

CapabilityStatement EnvironmEntalimpact assEssmEnt The requirement to undertake an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and submit an Environmental Statement (ES) is a statutory planning obligation for a wide range of developments and infrastructure projects. LDA Design brings together the skills necessary for the creative and technical leadership of EIA, environmental coordination and environmental management. Undertaken in the right way, an EIA should influence design from the outset and provide a means to engage statutory bodies and achieve planning consent. Our EIA team: ?? Advises on the need for EIA, undertaking screening applications; ?? Leads scoping discussions with the relevant authority and consultees;?? Commissions technical work from our team of specialists;?? Liaises with relevant authorities over submission and subsequent supplementary material; ?? Coordinates EIAs and compiles Environmental Statements; ?? Undertakes cumulative assessments; and?? Authors technical environmental chapters. Our EIA service is accredited to the Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment (IEMA) EIA Quality Mark, granted for our approach to leading EIAs, our understanding of the legal requirements that govern the process and the quality of our Environmental Statements. Our team consists of all relevant professional disciplines including IEMA, RTPI and PRINCE2 Practitioners to lead an EIA and deliver an Environmental Statement that meets financial, planning, environmental and programming requirements. LDA Design is also ISO 14001:2004 accredited.
