Environmental Planning and Assessment
Our Environmental Assessment team can manage, deliver and review a broad range of assessments in line with Competent Authority, IEMA and other relevant guidelines. As a multidisciplinary practice, Johns Associates undertakes and co-ordinates the individual technical studies that together comprise the EIA and Environmental Statement and other key outputs. Knowing your legal obligations and the risk to the environment is essential.
Environmental Impact Assessment provides a robust and structured mechanism to identify and address risk and adverse effects from a project. Johns Associates also uses EIA to maximise the opportunities presented through careful project design to benefit environmental resources, local communities and business.
The team can lead your EIA and undertake the full spectrum of technical assessments - from screening to submission and beyond. We can carry out the community consultation process, produce supporting drawings, graphics and prepare the final Environmental Statement. Or, we can simply take a supporting technical role if that’s what’s needed.
Johns Associates undertakes Environmental Risk Assessments (ERA) for organisations operating under the COMAH Regulations and in other circumstances where ERA is required. We provide expert advice on all stages of preparing the risk assessment. Drawing on available site, process and substance data we undertake site assessments supported by the use of GIS, environmental data and hazard models to understand source, pathway, receptor relationships.
Our team undertakes a wide range of environmental and sustainability assessment work, both multidisciplinary, and single issue, including:
- Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), including screening, scoping, ES co-ordination and presentation, technical assessments.
- Environmental Risk Assessment under the COMAH Regulations, including baseline surveys and monitoring to confirm receptors and impacts. Spatial mapping of hazards, receptors and effects, conceptual site models, reporting, consultation and negotiation with Competent Authorities.
- Sustainability advice, audits and assessments
- Habitat Regulations Assessments
- Water Framework Directive Assessment
