ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT
PORTFOLIO
With environmental considerations and sustainable development at the forefront of many development decisions the need to deliver a well-constructed Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is now paramount to the success of large-scale schemes.
Over the last 20 years the UK’s leading planning, design and economics
consultancy Nathaniel Lichfield & Partners (NLP) - RTPI planning consultancy of the year in 2012, 2013 and 2014 - has developed significant expertise in this area.
NLP has a proven track record of managing the EIA process, and of dealing with complex issues for clients across a wide range of development sectors.
From screening and scoping, to co-ordinating multi-disciplinary teams, NLP has developed significant in-house knowledge and the skills and experience to provide a comprehensive service. This, aligned with our deep understanding of the legal complexities and the
relationship of EIA to the wider planning and development process, places us at the forefront of EIA preparation and delivery.
As a testament to this first-rate expertise NLP is proud to have been awarded an EIA Quality Mark by the Institute of Environmental Management & Assessment (IEMA).
This brochure showcases our experience and demonstrates the benefits of using NLP.

H O ME S
WELCOME
Welcome to this public consultation event for our proposed development at the Bulmershe Court Campus in Woodley. Thank you for taking the time to come along today. CALA recently held a public consultation event on Monday 11th November 2013, which provided information on the first phase of homes as part of our proposed development. Thank you to those who attended the event. Your comments have helped to shape the reserved matters application for the development’s first 34 homes, which has now been submitted to Wokingham Borough Council. The application can be viewed on the Council’s website, planning reference RM/2013/2411. This exhibition will showcase the detailed plans for the remainder of the site. Site plans and some examples of house designs are displayed over the next few boards. The purpose of today’s event is to give you the chance to find out more about our overall plans for the site and give us your feedback. Here today are a number of representatives from CALA Homes and our design team, who are more than happy to discuss the proposed scheme in detail with you and answer any questions you might have. There are feedback forms available which can be completed today. Feedback received today and following this event will be taken into account before we submit our full planning application to Wokingham Borough Council.
