Sustainability

Baker Associates have many years experience in preparing and providing assistance on the sustainability appraisal of development plans. It has always been our belief that a sustainability appraisal can help make a better plan, which can be successfully implemented and sustainability benefits realised. We help achieve this through an approach to appraisal combining our knowledge of the sustainability agenda alongside our understanding of development plan preparation. Baker Associates can work with you on preparing your sustainability appraisal, providing input when needed and tailoring our methods to meet your needs.

In addition to our work on sustainability appraisal we also offer a range of appraisal and sustainable development services. This includes:

• Sustainability appraisal and development plans incorporating Strategic Environmental Assessment
• Habitat Regulation Assessment screening
• Equalities Impacts Assessment and Health Impact Assessment
• Assistance in policy development and guidance relating to sustainable development and renewable energy
