Evolution of the Approach
The Quality of Life Assessment approach is being promoted jointly by Natural England, English Heritage and the Environment Agency.
It provides a systematic and integrated way of managing for quality
of life. It has been developed by CAG Consultants and Land Use
Consultants, originally under the name of Environmental Capital. In
1998/9, eighteen pilot projects applied the approach to a range of
different tasks. One finding from these pilots and other research
is that the approach is as valid for social and economic as for
environmental benefits. It has thus been renamed the Quality of
Life (QoL) Assessment approach.
