The Environmental Impact Assessment Regulations are changing

TBC

Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) were first introduced in the USA nearly 40 years ago, as a government response to demands for environmental effects to be formally considered in the planning of development.

There are new regulations coming into force on the 24^th August 2011 for England and Wales.

These new 2011 Regulations will replace the Town & Country Planning (EIA) (England & Wales) Regulations 1999 and the various amendments to these regulations. New guidance will be released shortly after the release by the Communities and Local Government Department but the changes include new additions to the Schedule 1 and 2 projects including gas storage and transportation projects, greater clarity on the Screening Process, right of challenge by a third party and requirements for Local Authorities to advertise their reasoning on Screening decisions and how extensions may now require EIA under the Baker ruling.

This breakfast briefing will summarise the changes to the Regulations and how this may affect your clients or proposed developments in your area.
