Environmental Compatibility Assessment

The environmental impact assessment is the central environmental policy instrument for environmental precaution. Environmentally relevant projects are assessed for their environmental impact. As part of the official approval procedure, the environmental impact assessment is part of the decision-making process on the admissibility of projects. It is the first hurdle for project implementation. With our detailed presentation of possible project-related environmental impacts, the concept of measures and a balanced discussion of variants in the EIA report, we prevent the project from failing the environmental impact assessment.

Environmental concerns must also be taken into account in urban land-use planning. In the standard procedure, environmental assessments are dedicated to the environmental impact of land use and development plans. They are based on the environmental protection objectives for the planning area. This is followed by the examination of alternatives and the development of measures to avoid, reduce or compensate for adverse environmental impacts. An environmental report is prepared for simplified procedures.
