EIA Case Studies

As part of the course and the individual modules within it, planning authorities were invited to produce and share case studies related to their own EIA work.

In early 2026, two EIA case studies were developed by planning authorities and are available below.

1. Dumfries and Galloway Council - EIA Screening - Confidence in council judgement (download)

2. Aberdeenshire Council - EIA Scoping - EIA Procedures and Consultee Engagement (download)

Share a case study

We publish good practice case studies identified through our work on the National Planning Improvement Framework and the National Planning Hub. They aim to support the sharing of good practice and build collaboration across the sector in addressing common challenges.

Please complete this survey or email us at npi@improvementservice.org.uk if your authority has a good practice EIA case study to share.
