Description: Construction activities will always have an impact on the surrounding environment and neighbours. Good environmental practice enables these impacts to be managed positively. Impacts take many forms, for example effects on surrounding flora and fauna, watercourses, noise or pollution. Clients, their professional advisers, contractors and the whole construction supply chain, all have responsibilities for environmental management.
