Extent: N.I.

(This note is not part of the Regulations)
The Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1999 (“the 1999 Regulations”) implemented, for Northern Ireland, Council Directive 85/337/EEC (“the EIA Directive”) on the assessment of the effects of certain public and private projects on the environment (O.J. No. L175, 5.7.1985, p.40) as amended by Council Directive 97/11/EC (O.J. No. L73, 14.3.1997, p.5). The EIA Directive was also amended by Council Directive 2003/35/EC (O.J. No. L156, 25.6.2003, p.17).
These Regulations amend the 1999 Regulations to implement the Directives in respect of applications for approval of reserved matters and applications for any consent, agreement or approval required by a condition imposed on the grant of planning permission (collectively referred to as a “subsequent application”).
Regulations 3 to 11 amend the 1999 Regulations so that their provisions apply to a subsequent application.
A Regulatory Impact Assessment has been prepared in connection with these Regulations.
