This contribution is part of a compilation of letters on ‘Environmental Assessment (EA)/Impact Assessment (IA) simplification’ in the journal ‘Impact Assessment and Project Appraisal’. In it, the author discusses current efforts of the UK government to simplify and potentially replace EA. First, an overview of the development of EA over time is provided since it became mandatory (Environmental Impact Assessment – EIA – in 1988 and Strategic Environmental Assessment – SEA – in 2004). This is followed by a review of identified weaknesses of the UK EA system. The current initiative to potentially replace EA with so-called environmental outcomes reports (EORs) is described and critically reflected on. The letter concludes with a deliberation on whether current efforts appear to be fit for purpose and recommendations are provided on how we should proceed
