Services Provided
Temple provided a detailed review and assessment of the EIA carried out by the applicants in order to determine whether the assessment, including scoping, prediction of impacts, consideration of alternatives and its data was fit for purpose.
Temple found that the assessment did not meet best practice and advised the Local Planning Authority to refuse planning permission particularly in terms of the noise impacts identified and the assumptions made in the EIA study.
Benefits
Temple’s expertise enabled the Planning Authority to make a confident decision on the proposed development.
Temple also presented expert advice at a later Public Inquiry as part of the Planning Authority’s case. The evidence submitted on behalf of Broadland District Council ultimately led to a refusal of planning permission on environmental grounds.
