Preliminary Environmental Review & Impact Assessment
Identify the environmental issues that could affect project design, study requirements or submission readiness while there is still time to act.
Discuss your requirementsEnvironmental considerations at the design stage
Site layout, operating methods and capacity can affect emissions, waste and impacts on neighbouring uses. Defining the project and its sensitive receptors early helps sponsors determine which questions a study needs to resolve.
Scope of work
We examine the proposal and potential pathways from activities to receptors, review available baseline information and agree the remaining assessment requirements. Where report preparation is included, we organise the supporting material around the applicable brief.
Project definition
We review site, capacity, process, layout and operating information with the team responsible for the proposal.
Baseline and assessment scope
We identify sensitive receptors, potential impact pathways and the information needed to evaluate them, including specialist inputs where relevant.
Study preparation
Where included, we coordinate supporting inputs and organise the report around the agreed assessment and submission requirements.
Frequently asked questions
Is a preliminary review sufficient for every project?
The required study depends on the proposed activity, site and licensing route. Confirm the applicable requirement before commissioning the full work.
Can you review a previous study for an expansion?
Yes. Share the earlier study and proposed changes so the review can identify which baseline information remains relevant and which impacts need reassessment.
