Environmental Assessment is an inherently interdisciplinary
mechanism which is concerned with the input and quality of
information about the likely effects of development upon the
environment. It is a useful tool for examining aspects of the
relationship between law, governance, and the regulation of
decision making, which have been central to the development of
environmental law. In this volume, the procedural mechanism of
environmental assessment is analysed. The author argues that,
notwithstanding its procedural nature, environmental assessment is
highly material to the outcome of a decision. A major focus of this
analysis is the enhanced role of the developer in shaping the
outcome of a decision by assuming responsibility for providing
information on which a decision will be based, in accordance with a
broader agenda of expanding the roles and responsibilities of
participants in environmental decision making. The author draws
upon several contemporary projects as case studies of assessment: a
global port, an offshore windfarm, a flood defence strategy, and a
recreation centre. In analysing these sites of decision making from
a legal perspective, the author touches upon the key determinants
of environmental assessment: discretion, the significance of
environmental effects, alternative options, and participatory
rights. Finally, the volume looks to the future development of
environmental assessment: as an avenue for protest, and,
alternatively, as a standardized component of international
contracts for development.
