EIA/ES Auditing and Review
About EIA/ES Auditing and Review
Auditing or Review of Environmental Statements (ESs) is a systematic process by which we establish whether an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) (and resultant ES) is fit for the purpose of informing a determining authority whether to give development consent.
Reviews are carried out in accordance with criteria set by the Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment (IEMA, 2001). The review criteria and review grades are based on the legislative requirements of the EC Directive on Environmental Assessment (85/337 and 97/11/EEC), transposed into UK domestic legislation through the Town & Country Planning (EIA) (England & Wales) Regulations 1999, together with current reasonable best practice standards for ESs produced in the UK.
