WEB0613 - Delivering on EIA’s promises post-consent

For EIA to be of value it must influence decision-making and lead to improved outcomes for the environment, community and developer alike. In many cases EIA influences the design of development proposals to avoid, or at least reduce, negative effects on the environment. However, some impacts cannot be ‘designed out’ and dedicated additional action is needed, in either the construction or operation phase, to either prevent environmental harm or generate improvement.

Action to reduce harm is known as mitigation and often becomes mandatory as part of the conditions attached to a consent. However, if mitigation is not clearly identifiable within the text of the Environmental Statement or it fails to meet standard requirements related to the wording of conditions then it may not be picked up and carried forward. Even where mitigation is conditioned it may not be delivered or prove to be ineffective at reducing the negative environmental effect. In order to confirm that mitigation is both delivered and effective there can be a need to undertake monitoring during implementation.

MI0713-Managing resource risks and delivering business opportunities - Lincoln

The days of cheap waste disposal are gone. Whilst many firms work to reduce such costs, leading organisations are already pursuing opportunities to generate growth and improve business resilience by realising the value of the resources that pass along their value chains. This activity is the first step in a transition business will make over the coming years to move from managing waste to maximising the value of resources.

Factors such as global competition, supply risks and environmental change will continue to drive increases in the unit cost of key materials. The pace at which business reacts to resource risk will not only affect the competitiveness of individual firms, but also that of the UK economy. Environmental professionals are already playing a key role in championing and delivering this change, but what drives our success and what are the barriers that hold back the next steps?
