Legislation
From 16 May 2017 onwards, eia in respect of town and country planning matters is governed by:
- •
the Town and Country Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) Regulations 2017, SI 2017/571 (the English EIA Regulations) in England, and
- •
the Town and Country Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) (Wales) Regulations 2017 SI 2017/567 (the Welsh EIA Regulations) in Wales
together the 'EIA Regulations'.
The EIA Regulations transpose into English and Welsh law the changes made by Archived Directive 2014/52/EU to Archived Directive 2011/92/EU on the assessment of the effects of certain public and private projects on the environment (as they had effect immediately before IP completion day (11 pm on 31 December 2020)), in so far as they govern town and country planning matters. For information on how Brexit has impacted the EIA regime, see Practice Note: Brexit—the implications for English and Welsh planning law and practice.
Context
