Environmental impact assessment (full EIA and screening document)

Environmental impact assessment is the process that sets the timetable for the whole project. We write the study and defend it through to the decision, anticipating the objections and sector reports that will arise.

What's included

• Environmental impact study for full assessment, or screening document for the simplified route.
• Analysis of alternatives on comparable criteria and justification of the option chosen.
• Environmental baseline and supporting studies: fauna, flora, habitats, landscape, noise and water.
• Assessment of cumulative and synergistic effects with other projects nearby.
• Preventive, corrective and compensatory measures, and environmental monitoring plan.
• Responses to objections, sector reports and requests from the environmental authority.

When you need it

• Your project falls within the annexes of Spanish Law 21/2013.
• You have been asked for a screening document to determine whether full assessment is required.
• An earlier EIA has drawn official queries and the project is stalled.
• You want to understand the permitting risk before committing investment.

How we work

We produce the supporting studies in house, which means that when a sector report opens up an issue we resolve it without waiting on third parties. We write with the decision-maker in mind: the environmental authority.
