appropriate assessment

Article 6 of the Habitats Directive sets out circumstances under which a development having an adverse impact on a European protected (Natura 2000) site such as a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) or Special Protection Area (SPA) would only become acceptable where an Appropriate Assessment is carried out by a �competent authority�. Landscape Science Consultancy Ltd has proven experience in the Appropriate Assessment process, which assesses the implications of the proposal in respect of the site�s conservation objectives and evaluates the effects of the development on the site�s integrity.
