Assess the potential environmental impact of a proposed construction project on the local natural environment.
Potential construction project for The City of Liverpool College - LAX
Author: Matthew Ellis
Introduction:
I have been asked to put together a report for the potential construction project for The City Of Liverpool College. The current site being looked at is on Roscoe Street. I will be discussing the consequences which could occur to the buildings in proximity to the site location, and the people who could be affected.
Body:
During this part of the report, I will be discussing what problems could occur during each phase (pre-construction, construction, post construction) and how you can go about preventing this from occurring.
Pre-construction phase:
During the pre-construction phase, there will be a lot of discussion based on the design of the building, what materials need to be used, how it gets there, but nothing on how the materials are being made, where they are being taken from, how its being transported, the biodiversity within the area and how its going to change, and any natural habitats that will be affected because of this project.
I will discuss the repercussions of this project, and how it affects the habitats, biodiversity's, atmosphere and the impact on the environment.
Environmental impact assessment:
This is what is used to determine the affects on the environment, when a construction project is being done. It is used to protect the environment, by using a local planning authority to give planning permission to the project to go ahead, based off of the likely affects on the environment, and the severity of them. Within the regulations that have been set, is a procedure to determine what projects require an environmental impact assessment. It will also need to have assessments, consultations, and a decision for the projects which may have severe affects on the environment.
The local authorities are required to take into
