Following the success of the first edition, the second edition of the Environmental Impact Assessment Handbook is fully updated in line with the Planning Bill enacted in November 2008, and expanded to include a new chapter on Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA).
Written by practitioners for practitioners, covering procedures, environmental issues and development types, the handbook:
Presents the requirements of EIA in a readily accessible and practical way,
Inspires good EIA practice with the use of case studies,
Informs and guides the early and effective use of EIA,
Demonstrates how improvements in EIA practice facilitate better informed planning decisions,
Outlines the procedures associated with SEA and demonstrates its benefits.
Including full cross-referencing and checklists, Environmental Impact Assessment Handbook, 2nd Edition, will provide an invaluable overview and step-by-step guide for local authority planners, environmental regulators, consultants and all professionals working on development proposals. Students and community groups will also find this a valuable introductory text.
