EIA and Sustainability
Leading EIA practitioners
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) has become a vital component of many large planning
applications, acting as the focus for assessing the social, economic and environmental merits of a
proposed scheme.
The London office of RPS has extensive knowledge of applying robust assessment methodologies to
complex cases; we ensure that workable development parameters are established and evaluated in
the Environmental Statement without unduly compromising the future commercial flexibility of the
scheme.
Our unrivalled experience of promoting major applications, coupled with our long-standing relationships with leading planning lawyers and barristers, means that we are at the forefront of EIA 'best practice' across a wide range of sectors.
RPS offers a broad range of technical and complementary consultancy services that feed into the EIA process.
The London office of RPS includes a dedicated team of senior EIA practitioners and project managers who have a wealth of experience in delivering EIA and associated projects and are highly capable deliverers of EIA and associated projects.

The range of EIA specialisms within RPS, including ecology, noise and air quality, hydrology, heritage,
townscape and visual, ground conditions and archaeology, enables us to offer clients a comprehensive
EIA service.
Closely aligned to the EIA process, we have developed a proven methodology for defining and assessing the sustainability profile of a scheme to meet GLA and local authority requirements. Separate Sustainability Statements are prepared in support of planning applications to sit alongside the ES, Energy Strategy, Design and Access Statement and other application documents.
The London office of RPS can help facilitate design workshops which focus on identifying key sustainability drivers for a particular development, giving due regard to the specific constraints and opportunities presented by the site, design and development type. In doing so, we are able to maximise the chances of planning success and to meet the client's aspirations and development budget by screening-out costly or inappropriate sustainability commitments.
