We’re excited that our National EIA Team Lead, Lara Knapman, has joined ISEP’s Impact Assessment Steering Group.

Made up of leading practitioners from regulators, developers, academics and consultant practitioners, the IA Network Steering Group comprises 15 members who guide ISEP’s activities in Impact Assessment through horizon scanning, policy leadership, and quality review.

Lara will work with fellow members of the Steering Group to oversee the delivery of an annual work programme of policy and practice activities, including responding to government and other consultations and reviewing Impact Assessment Network outputs.

Commenting on her appointment, Lara said: “I’m excited to be working in partnership with fellow experienced industry leaders to support the Impact Assessment Network and help shape ISEP’s response to government consultations. We’ll also champion best practice and share opportunities for others in the Network to contribute.”
