Over the last 20 years the UK s leading planning, design and economics consultancy Nathaniel Lichfield & Partners (NLP) - RTPI planning consultancy of the year in 2012, 2013 and has developed significant expertise in this area. NLP has a proven track record of managing the EIA process, and of dealing with complex issues for clients across a wide range of development sectors. From screening and scoping, to coordinating multi-disciplinary teams, NLP has developed significant in-house knowledge and the skills and experience to provide a comprehensive service.
