RTPI Environmental impact assessments masterclass
6 July 2010 - The Hatton (etc venues), 51-53 Hatton Garden, London
The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Regulations require developments which have the potential to be harmful to the environment to go through a rigorous assessment process. The EIA process ensures that potentially significant environmental effects of developments are identified and assessed, and that mitigation is proposed and applied to the final scheme to reduce impacts as far as is practicable. The EIA process is complex, involving screening, scoping and assessment stages. This workshop will cover the relevant legislation, provide explanatory examples and will assist with completing, reviewing and submitting a successful EIA.
