These Regulations amend article 13 of the principal Regulations of 1994 which prescribes development, which notwithstanding section 4 of the Local Government (Planning and Development) Act, 1963, is not exempted development. The effect of the Regulations is to lower the threshold at which afforestation requires planning permission from 200 hectares to 70 hectares. A corresponding change has been made in the European Communities (Environmental Impact Assessment) Regulations, 1996 (S.I. No. 101 of 1996) in relation to the threshold at which afforestation requires environmental impact assessment.
