At HalpinRobbins, we provide expert guidance through the screening and scoping processes of Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) to ensure your development projects comply with relevant regulations. Our services are tailored to support projects across various sectors, including agriculture, energy, forestry, land drainage, marine works, planning, and water resources.
Screening determines whether a proposed project requires an Environmental Impact Assessment. By comparing project details against set threshold criteria, we can identify if a formal 'screening opinion' is necessary. This process often involves submitting supporting evidence, such as ecology surveys, archaeology reports, or landscape plans, to the regulating body, which then provides a formal decision.
If an EIA is required, scoping defines the scope and level of detail of the information to be included in the assessment. We assist in obtaining a formal 'scoping opinion' from the regulating body, outlining the specific areas and impacts that need to be addressed. This ensures that the EIA is comprehensive and focused on relevant environmental factors.
We offer personalized support throughout the screening and scoping processes, ensuring that your project meets all regulatory requirements. Our team collaborates closely with clients to gather necessary information, prepare documentation, and liaise with regulatory bodies, facilitating a smooth and efficient assessment process.
Beyond screening and scoping, HalpinRobbins provides a range of environmental services, including ecological surveys, habitat assessments, and impact mitigation strategies. Our holistic approach ensures that all aspects of your project's environmental impact are thoroughly evaluated and addressed.
