Our team advises on all scales and types of environmental impact, including on complexities arising under the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) and Habitats Regulations. No5’s barristers have appeared in many leading cases on these issues, which have shaped the UK’s EU-derived legislative framework.
