Paragraph 20A F1F2
The Secretary of State may direct that an environmental impact assessment is not required for a project if satisfied that—
the sole purpose of the project is national defence, and
carrying out the assessment would have an adverse effect on the fulfilment of that purpose.
The Secretary of State must, as soon as reasonably practicable, send a copy of a direction given under sub-paragraph (1)—
to the Scottish Ministers, if the application for a harbour revision order authorising the project is required to be made to the Scottish Ministers;
to the Welsh Ministers, if the application for a harbour revision order authorising the project is required to be made to the Welsh Ministers;
to a person designated by an order made under section 42A(1), if the application for a harbour revision order authorising the project is required to be made to that person.
