N2  - Since 1985 environmental impact assessment (EIA) has been an EU requirement for many development projects whether in the public or private sectors. This book explains the methods and is intended for those "who organise, review and make decisions about EIA". The book is a guide to best practice and covers socio-economic impacts, noise, transport, landscape and visual impacts, heritage, air quality and climate, soils geology and geomorphology, water, ecology, and coasts. Also considers the use of geographical information systems (GIS), discusses the concept of quality of life capital, and considers sustainable development as government policy. The examples used refer mainly to the UK but the principles can be applied anywhere
