Project information sheet (KIP)

A project information sheet should describe the development and its environmental context clearly. We prepare the Polish KIP with the necessary analyses and maps, bringing developer and designer information together into a consistent document for the environmental procedure for a new or modified project.

A coherent project description at the KIP stage

The KIP starts with understanding what is proposed and how it will operate. We collect information on location, scale, technology, layout and the anticipated construction and operational stages. Where an existing facility is being changed, we distinguish current activities from the proposed works so that the description preserves the actual boundaries of the development under consideration.

We then identify environmental topics to be addressed in the information sheet. Necessary specialist analyses and mapping are prepared or coordinated and checked against the project description. Particular attention is given to emission sources, operating assumptions and relationships with the surroundings. Missing information is identified before assumptions are presented as final project parameters in the document.

The KIP is a separate document from a full environmental impact assessment report. Preparing it does not predetermine the subsequent procedure or replace every detailed study. Content is matched to the development and available information. Material concept changes are carried through to associated analyses and appendices so that the package continues to describe a consistent project.

Technical data

What you receive

You receive a KIP with the agreed appendices, necessary specialist analyses and maps. The document presents the development using a consistent set of data and explains the assumptions adopted. It provides material for the environmental procedure and further project work while maintaining the distinction between a project information sheet and a full environmental impact assessment report.
