Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) assesses the effects that certain new developments may have on the environment and recommends actions to enhance environmental benefits and reduce adverse effects. Whilst large scale regeneration projects, housing developments, new roads and electricity connections are necessary for the economy and society, TEP recognises that so too is a quality environment.
TEP is an Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment (IEMA) registered Environmental Impact Assessor with a Quality Mark for commitment to excellence. We have extensive experience in managing the EIA process, regularly working in multi-disciplinary teams of ecologists, engineers, designers, surveyors and planners.
We coordinate the entire EIA process, from screening opinions to the production of the Environmental Statement which will accompany a planning application. We manage the range of specialists required to deliver an EIA and engage with all of the relevant stakeholders. Our priority is to identify all of the potential environmental effects from a proposed development and provide innovative and practical measures to reduce the effects.
Our team includes experts in Sustainability Appraisal, Strategic Environmental Assessment and Habitats Regulation Assessment, allowing us to carry out high and mid-level appraisals of plans, strategies and major infrastructure schemes.
