Environmental planning forms the basis of all sustainable site development decisions. It is a vital process for anybody deciding what should go where on any area of land. This text is a clear, step-by-step introduction to planning how a site should be developed in an environmentally sustainable manner and will help the beginner, as well as the professional, identify and understand the problems that arise from the interrelationship between people and the land. It will show what information to collect on the physical, natural and social aspects of the site, how to make sense of the information, how it will be used and how to bring it all together into a coherent site planning proposal. A major part of this new edition illustrates how to apply the principles of sustainable environmental planning at community and local level. It includes a detailed examination of a brownfield site to identify locally applicable strategies for sustainable site development.
