## A useful hour, well spent.

An open conversation about getting the environmental brief right at the beginning.

   ### Define the decision
   
   Start with what the project team needs to know, rather than a list of reports.

   ### Connect the disciplines
   
   Where land, ecology, water and planning questions overlap.
3. 00:30
   
   ### Make the handover useful
   
   What a clear scope and shared evidence record can look like.
4. 00:45
