EIAs are increasingly required prior to and as part of a planning application for a proposed development. It is an important study for ensuring that the likely effects of a development on the environment are fully understood and taken into account before permission is granted for a proposed development.
EIAs are usually prepared by a Planning Consultant in close liaison with various specialist Consultants dealing with infrastructure, landscape, traffic, noise, geotechnical and environmental aspects, urban planning and ecological aspects amongst others. TSL provide the Geotechnical and Environmental aspects of such studies and have a long standing relationship with Hives Planning for such studies.
