Environmental Impact Assessments

Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA), also known as Environmental Statements, are governed by the Town and Country Planning (EIA) Regulations 2011 and they only apply to certain types of development. 

What is an EIA  

EIAs are a tool that is used in order to ensure that the Local Planning Authority, when determining planning applications, which are likely to have significant effects on the environment, is made aware of the significant effects and that these are taken into account in the decision-making process.
