Our Sustainability Appraisal services
CAG Consultants offer:
- Sustainability appraisal;
- Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA);
- Integrated Impact Assessment (IIA);
- Habitats Regulation Assessment (HRA).
What makes our approach different? We believe in owned processes which build understanding and skills within organisations and, where appropriate, amongst stakeholders. This means that where it makes sense we support participative processes of assessment, working closely with local stakeholders and with the people preparing the plan from an early stage, to help them improve the plan as it progresses. This can achieve far more, more efficiently and with far less stress, than disruptive change at the end of the process.
Whether participative or not, our rigorous assessments draw on our skills and knowledge base of the practice and policy and latest guidance and good practice for:
- Climate change;
- Sustainable development;
- Biodiversity and habitat management;
- Equalities; and
- Health impact.
We offer:
- Training on appraisal methodology.
- Development of guidance materials.
- Support for clients to undertake their own appraisals.
- Independent Sustainability Appraisals, Strategic Environmental Assessments, Integrated Impact Assessments and Habitats Regulation Assessments.
- Assistance and facilitation for in-house or stakeholder appraisals.
- Development of monitoring frameworks.
- Developing and running consultation events and programmes linked to Plan development and appraisal.
