Environmental impact assessment - Wales
Enters into force - 16 May 2017
The Town and Country Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) (Wales) Regulations 2017 revoke and replace the Town and Country Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) (Wales) Regulations 2016, as amended.
The 2017 regulations transpose the amendments made to the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Directive 2011/92/EU by Directive 2014/52/EU and make a number of significant changes to the EIA regime in Wales. Changes to the EIA regime in Wales mirror those in England and Scotland closely.
