Merseyside EAS Information

Our main customers within the districts are the planning departments to whom we provide environmental advice on planning applications, major projects and planning policy. MEAS also works in support of the wider environmental agenda in the Liverpool City Region through input to, and management of specific projects and partnerships. MEAS is passionate about embedding a sustainable and natural capital approach into the policies and strategy of our District customers and the wider Liverpool City Region. We encourage investment in natural capital as part of our integrated advice and seek to deliver higher quality and more resilient places across the City Region. All our teams are focussed on working with our customers to find cost-effective solutions for the benefit of communities, the economy and environment of our Council areas.
