Ecological impact assessment (EcIA)

Under EC legislation certain development projects which potentially have a significant impact on the environment require an Ecological Impact Assessment (EcIA). The range of projects for which an EcIA is necessary has expanded since the implementation of the amending EC Directive (97/11/EEC) in 1999. Cornwall Environmental Consultants undertakes:
