Environmental Impact Assessment

Planning-Led EIA Coordination for Sustainable Development

At Arthian, our experienced Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) team delivers robust, regulator-aligned Environmental Impact Assessments for a wide range of development types across the UK and Ireland. Whether you’re planning housing, infrastructure, energy or industrial schemes, we guide you through the EIA process with clarity, confidence and technical precision.

Our multi-disciplinary team includes specialists in ecology, air quality, acoustics, contaminated land, landscape, heritage and the water environment, as well as construction-phase environmental management. This joined-up approach ensures your EIA Coordinator has full visibility of risks and opportunities, streamlining delivery and reducing surprises.

Our EIA Services

We offer full-lifecycle EIA support, tailored to your site, sector and planning context. We apply the Town and Country Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) Regulations 2017, and where relevant, support parallel assessments under marine licensing, PPC, or NSIP regimes. Our services include:

EIA Coordination & Project Management

Feasibility Studies & Constraints Analysis

EIA Screening & Scoping

Environmental Statement (ES) Production

Stakeholder Engagement & Public Consultation

Post-Consent Monitoring & Compliance

EIA Coordination & Project Management

EIA Coordination and Project Management ensures that Environmental Impact Assessments are delivered efficiently, accurately, and in line with planning requirements. Acting as a single point of contact, our team manages all technical inputs, project timelines, and stakeholder engagement throughout the EIA process.

This includes coordinating specialist assessments, liaising with planning authorities and consultees, and ensuring that documentation is clear, consistent, and submitted on schedule. Our approach streamlines complex projects, reduces risk, and supports informed decision-making at every stage of development.

Feasibility Studies & Constraints Analysis

Feasibility Studies and Constraints Analysis provide essential early-stage advice to inform site selection, design development, and risk management. By identifying environmental, ecological, and planning constraints at the outset, these assessments help shape viable project proposals and avoid costly delays later in the process.

Our team evaluates factors such as land contamination, flood risk, protected species, landscape sensitivity, and planning policy to build a clear picture of site potential. This proactive approach supports informed decision-making, de-risks development, and lays the groundwork for successful Environmental Impact Assessments and planning applications.

EIA Screening & Scoping

EIA Screening and Scoping are critical early steps in the Environmental Impact Assessment process.

Screening determines whether an EIA is required for a proposed development, based on its nature, scale, and potential environmental effects. If an EIA is needed, scoping defines the scope and focus of the assessment, identifying which environmental topics should be studied in detail and setting the framework for technical inputs. This process involves consultation with planning authorities and statutory bodies, helping to ensure that the EIA is proportionate, targeted, and aligned with regulatory expectations from the outset.

Environmental Statement (ES) Production

Environmental Statement (ES) Production involves the preparation of comprehensive, planning-ready documentation that presents the findings of the Environmental Impact Assessment in a clear and accessible format.

Our team produces full ES documents, including detailed technical chapters covering topics such as ecology, landscape, noise, air quality, and more, alongside a concise Non-Technical Summary for wider stakeholder understanding. We ensure that all content is robust, well-structured, and aligned with planning authority expectations, supporting smooth submission and review as part of the planning application process.

Stakeholder Engagement & Public Consultation

Stakeholder Engagement and Public Consultation are vital components of the Environmental Impact Assessment process, helping to build transparency, trust, and informed decision-making. We provide tailored support for public exhibitions, community liaison, and coordination with statutory consultees, ensuring that all relevant voices are heard and considered.

Our approach facilitates meaningful dialogue between developers, regulators, and local communities, helping to identify concerns early, shape project design, and strengthen planning outcomes. By managing engagement proactively, we help clients navigate complex consultation requirements with confidence and clarity.

Post-Consent Monitoring & Compliance

Post-Consent Monitoring and Compliance ensures that environmental commitments made during the planning process are delivered effectively throughout construction and operation. Our team oversees the delivery of mitigation measures, conducts ongoing monitoring, and prepares detailed reporting to demonstrate compliance with planning conditions.

This includes tracking ecological, environmental, and technical performance against agreed benchmarks, liaising with regulators, and providing evidence to support condition discharge. By maintaining a clear audit trail and proactive oversight, we help clients meet their obligations and safeguard environmental outcomes over the long term.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an EIA for my development?

If your project falls under Schedule 1 or meets thresholds in Schedule 2 of the EIA Regulations, you may need an EIA. We can advise through screening.

What is EIA screening and scoping?

Screening determines if EIA is required. Scoping defines what environmental topics need to be assessed in the Environmental Statement.

Can you manage the full EIA process?

Yes—we provide end-to-end coordination, technical input, stakeholder engagement and post-consent support.

Do you support infrastructure and corridor projects?

Yes—we specialise in water environment assessments for linear schemes across roads, rails and utilities.
