Environmental Assessment
The Town and Country
Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment ) Regulations (1999) (as
amended) set out the circumstances in which an Environmental Impact
Assessment (EIA) is required. Information on this can be
found at www.communities.gov.uk.
This usually relates to larger more complex schemes but can be
required for some minor developments if there are likely to be
significant environmental effects from pollution for
example.
For most applications EIA is not required.
