Abstract

These Regulations amend the procedures contained in Part VA of the Highways Act 1980 for the environmental impact assessment of projects for the construction or improvement of highways. They apply to projects for the construction or improvement of highways for which in England the Secretary of State and in Wales the National Assembly for Wales are respectively the highway authority. The Regulations, among other things, specify requirements for public notice of environmental statements and the procedure for members of the public, and certain consultation bodies, to make representations in relation to such environmental statements and the projects to which they relate.
