What does an environmental planner do?
Environmental planners integrate environmental considerations into planning and development processes. Their role is to ensure that proposed projects meet environmental regulations and sustainability targets, particularly in sectors such as transport, energy, and housing.
They prepare environmental assessments, advise on land use and ecological impact, and help mitigate potential harm to biodiversity, air and water quality, and natural landscapes. Environmental planners work closely with developers, planning authorities, and environmental bodies to align project delivery with environmental policy and legislation, such as the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Directive and UK-specific frameworks.
