It may be useful to follow an environmental capital methodology for those areas that are not easily quantifiable. The main elements of this approach are:
- To describe sequentially the characteristic features;
- To appraise environmental capital - using a set of indicators, this is done by assessing
- the importance of these characteristic features;
- why they are important; and
- their inter-relationships;
- To describe how options impact on features; and
- To produce an overall assessment score on a seven point scale.
