For clients dealing with significant or sensitive sites, Ecology Solutions can support with our Environmental Statements offering. Our landscape planning team not only provides an initial scoping report for Council submission but also prepares a Landscape and Visual chapter, a crucial part of the wider Environmental Statement (ES).
Environmental Impact Assessments are crucial for identifying the potential environmental impacts of proposed developments, ensuring that any adverse effects are mitigated, and ensuring that the development can proceed in a sustainable manner.
Environmental Impact Assessments
At Ecology Solutions, we don't just understand the complexities and challenges of Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA), we guide our clients through them. Our dedicated team of experts works closely with clients, ensuring a smooth and efficient process from start to finish.
Another common challenge is balancing the development's goals with environmental sustainability. Development proposals must align with the site's environmental capacity, which often requires careful planning and testing. Our team of landscape architects excels at finding this balance. We work closely with our clients to understand their vision and goals and work with them to develop a brief that meets the sites full potential within the environmental constraints. This collaborative approach ensures that development proposals are realistic, feasible, and sustainable.
Mitigating Impacts
Mitigating potential negative impacts is a critical part of the EIA process. Throughout the assessment, we identify avoidance, mitigation, and enhancement measures to meet planning policies and relevant legislation. Our team's extensive experience and knowledge enable us to propose effective strategies that minimise environmental impact while allowing development to proceed. These measures are thoroughly documented in the Landscape and Visual chapter of the Environmental Statement, ensuring that all stakeholders are informed, and that the development complies with regulatory requirements.
We recognise that each project is unique, with its own set of challenges and opportunities. Our approach is not one-size-fits-all, but tailored, focusing on each project's specific brief. Whether dealing with complex existing features, sensitive habitats or landscape setting, or community concerns, our team is equipped to handle a wide range of issues. We provide clear, practical recommendations that help the projects in moving forward with confidence.
In addition to addressing environmental concerns, our EIA services also consider the visual impact of developments. We understand that new developments can significantly alter the landscape, affecting local communities and the environment. Our Landscape and Visual Impact Assessments are not just thorough, but detailed, ensuring that any potential impacts are highlighted and suitably mitigated visual changes are carefully considered and managed.
