EIA in UK Where are we now?

BREXIT & UK EIA What we Know UK has transposed 2014 Directive amendment Future of legal challenges look likely to end UK is direct signatory to IA in international law: The Espoo & Prague Conventions The Aarhus Convention UK EIA and SEA Regulations will be covered in the Great Repeal Bill, as required.

Who needs influencing? What is commitment to IA?

Relationships are Changing But only some…

Government Courts Practitioners Academics But, Mega-Trends are not: CC, Biodiversity, Obesity, etc

Influencing UK EIA Who & What

Macro: Direction - EU Env Principles, Industrial Strategy, 25Yr Env Plan Meso: IA Legislation in Total - Whitehall vs Devolved, Transposition: Competent Experts Micro: Individual Regulations - Stop failing to deliver improvement (Land Drainage)

Who Co-ordinates IA Community in this period Who Co-ordinates IA Community in this period? Re-think: - Cannot be left to IEMA - More structure to curation UK IA - Practitioners, Academics, Lawyers, Planners, developers, etc Progressive Alliance Needed

An Opportunity for Positive Change?

Changing a Directive takes a long time… EC proposals for revising EIA Directive EIA Directive amendment 2014/52/EU EC Public Consultation 2010 2012 2014 2013 2009 2011 2016 2017 EU EIA Effectiveness Review New EIA Directive Proposal Revised by EU Parliament & Council Member State transposition [by May 2017] 2011/92/EU

- Focus on value IA delivers - Re-imagine - Focus on value IA delivers - Re-imagine i) Proportionate / Integrated ii) Purpose / Goal (Canada) iii) Innovation iv) Collaboration (all professions)

Don’t push blame on others Avoid being frozen by uncertainty Focus on pulling IA and related professions together

Collaborate Excessively Conclusions Plan for the worst Act for the Best (Do we have consensus on what this is?) Whatever happens Collaborate Excessively
