| Short description: |
The Environmental Information System for Planners (EISP) is a proof of concept web-based system designed to support
decision making within the UK planning framework by making information on environmental issues more widely accessible. It
incorporates relevant outputs from the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) Urban Regeneration and the Environment
(URGENT) research programme and from research directly commissioned by the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (ODPM). It
supports three principal planning functions carried out by local authorities: pre-planning enquiries, development control decisions
and strategic planning. Eleven environmental science themes are incorporated: Air quality, Shallow undermining, Landslide
susceptibility, Groundwater protection, Flood risk, Drainage, Land contamination, Proximity to landfill, Biodiversity, Natural and
Man-made heritage.
