What does Environmental impact assessment mean? An environmental impact assessment (EIA) is the statutory process used in planning and other consenting regimes to identify, evaluate and mitigate the likely significant effects of a proposed project on the environment before planning permission or other development consent is granted.

An Environmental impact assessment (EIA) evaluates a project’s likely significant environmental effects. It ensures the environmental implications of a development proposal are given appropriate weight, alongside economic and social considerations, when planning applications are determined, and creates opportunities to lessen those impacts.

This Practice Note This Practice Note reviews mechanisms used in settling litigation. A Tomlin order consists of a consent order paired with a schedule. It operates to stay proceedings on terms that have been agreed. The provisions contained in the schedule may remain confidential.

Sample wording for a Tomlin order is included, alongside links to precedents, as well as guidance on court approval. It also addresses varying, setting aside and enforcing a Tomlin order, including the considerations the court will take into account when handling applications for each. Further guidance is provided on interpreting and applying the relevant provisions of the CPR; however, some courts and divisions impose very specific requirements for both drafting and approval, and for approaching the schedule and confidentiality issues. Accordingly, you must consider the particular rules and court guide provisions in the forum where your claim is proceeding when drawing up the Tomlin order...
