James Burton (geb. 1939): Environmental Impact Assessment and Environmental Outcome Reporting, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Blurb

Environmental Impact Assessment and Environmental Outcome Reporting offers comprehensive coverage of the law relating to Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), as well as anticipating the implementation of Environmental Outcome Reporting (EOR). The book concentrates on the role that EIA plays in the planning process, setting out the legal requirements relating to EIAs, their interaction with planning law and procedure, and legal challenges based on EIA. It also addresses in detail Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) and Habitats Regulations Assessment (HRA).

The third edition has been fully updated to include:

• Clear analysis and explanation of the implications of Brexit and the continuing relevance of EU law
• Key decisions of the higher courts, including the Supreme Court in Finch on assessing Scope 3 emissions and in CG Fry on appropriate assessment
• Expanded coverage of EIA in the context of Development Consent Orders for nationally significant infrastructure projects
• The evolution of EOR and its likely implications

This work is invaluable for lawyers both in private practice and within national and local government, local authority planning officers, planning consultants, property developers and all other professionals who need to understand the implications and pitfalls of EIA and how EOR will develop.
