Most types of coastal and marine development require planning consent before a development can go ahead. In order to achieve this consent, developers are often required to carry out an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) in order to predict, quantify and mitigate potential significant environmental impacts.
BMT Cordah is experienced in carrying out marine and coastal EIA for a number of sectors. We are able to provide all aspects of the EIA process including:
scoping;
review of legislation and policy;
stakeholder consultation;
project and environmental description;
site investigation, including baseline surveys;
impact analysis including cumulative impacts;
development of appropriate mitigation; and
public consultation.
