These Regulations amend provisions relating to environment impact assessment. The amendments restate provisions relating to the information to be contained in an environmental impact statement and exemptions from the requirement to prepare an environmental impact statement. The Regulations also extend the provisions concerning the furnishing of additional information relating to an environmental impact assessment. The Regulations also include provisions relating to applications for planning permission involving an environmental impact assessment, where the proposed development may have effects on another Member State of the European Communities. The provisions extend the time available to a planning authority to deal with such an application, and enable an authority to enter into consultations with the Member State concerned.
