Environmental assessment
- Environmental Impact Assessment
- Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a process for systematically examining the possible environmental effects of a new development. The EIA process provides a real opportunity to highlight potential environmental damage, to improve the design of developments, and to enable members of the public to have a proper say before decisions are made on whether a project should be given planning permission.

- Strategic Environmental Assessment
Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) provides a process for identifying and assessing the likely effects on the environment of a policy, plan, or programme prepared by public authorities. It covers land-use plans and programmes, as well as those developed in agriculture, fisheries, forestry, energy, industry, transport, telecommunications and tourism sectors. The SEA should ensure potential adverse effects are avoided, reduced or minimised, with a view to promoting sustainable development. Consultation and public participation are integral to the process. This guide explains the process of SEA and where it may or not apply.
