What about links to other formal assessments – eg Environmental Impact Assessments, Health Impact Assessments, Transport Impact Assessments for example?
The Checklist does not replace the need for EIA’s – these are a statutory requirement for particular types of developments (see Town and Country Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) (England and Wales) Regulations 1999). Since this is dealt with by formal legislation, we have not repeated it in the Checklist. Local authorities have differing requirements of Impact Assessments which do not have a legally defined methodology, but developers and development control officers will find that questions in the checklist will inform these impact assessments. Indeed Local Authorities are welcome to highlight those questions which they would want to see answered as part of a particular Impact Assessment. Health Impacts are a good example of where this would work well.
