Abstract These Regulations implement, in Scotland, Council Directive 85/337/EEC on the assessment of the effects of certain public and private projects on the environment, as amended by Council Directive 97/11/EC, in relation to applications to planning authorities to determine the revised conditions to which an existing minerals planning permission should be subjected to under Schedules 8, 9 and 10 of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997 ("ROMP applications"). These Regulations amend the Environmental Impact Assessment (Scotland) Regulations 1999 which implemented the Directives in relation to town and country planning, roads and drainage works in Scotland. The 1999 Regulations impose procedural requirements in relation to the consideration of applications for planning permission under the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997. Regulation 2(2) inserts definitions relating to ROMP applications into the 1999 Regulations. It also amends the interpretation of "sensitive area" to include National Parks. The main amendment to the 1999 Regulations is the insertion of a new regulation 28A (ROMP applications) by regulation 2(3) of these Regulations. Regulation 2(3) applies the provisions of the 1999 Regulations to ROMP applications as they apply to applications for planning permission, subject to the modifications and additions set out below.
