Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), the procedure that ensures that the likely effects of new development on the environment are taken into account, has become a crucial part of the development process. An understanding of EIA procedures is an increasing necessity for all those involved in this process. A unique addition to the literature on this subject, Environmental Impact Assessment Handbook is an approachable and practical guide, with many illustrated explanations and examples, written from the practitioner's perspective. The handbook approach has been designed with cross-referencing and checklists which makes the guide a valuable introductory text as well as a useful reference tool for the EIA practitioner. This handbook aims to: present the requirements of EIA according to the UK EIA Regulations in a readily usable and practical way inspire and share experience towards good EIA practice by a practical handbook format illustrated with case studies inform and guide the use of EIA early and effectively in the development design and land use planning processes demonstrate the advantages of improvements in EIA practice to facilitate better informed planning decisions It includes a review of the procedures, an introduction to addressing environmental topics in EIA, and the approach to assessing a range of development types.

Needed for HND,
By
This review is from: Environmental Impact Assessment Handbook: A Practical Guide for Planners, Developers and Communities (Paperback)
This book is on the reading list for HND Animal management: Unit 6: Environmental management, where students have to conduct an environmental impact assessment (EIA) on an animal care establishment. The thing is this book is focussed on EIA for proposed developments: our students have to study an up-and-running enterprise. Their task is easier than the book is designed for , but they still complain they can't understand the book, as it is written in high level legalese for professional architects, planners, designers, etc, and is full of acronyms (VEC = valued ecosystem component) and weird jargon phrases like 'scoping exercise'. I'd say only about 5% of the book is in any way relevant to their assignment, but they don't have the skills to identify the relevant bits, so guess who is having to do it for them?
