Recommendation 175
175
A non-technical summary must be published alongside an Environmental Impact Assessment.
Conclusion
A non-technical summary must be published alongside an Environmental Impact Assessment. These contain a wealth of technical data and there is no standard way to present environmental information. When combined with its specialist nature this can be detrimental to the engagement process. Information published in an “unreadable format … just hundreds of pages that were illegible even when printed at A3 size” 230 is difficult to understand without expert support, to which most individuals do not have access.
