Abstract

These Regulations consolidate, principally for England only, the provisions of the Town and Country Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) (England and Wales) Regulations 1999 and subsequent amendments. The Regulations, among other things: impose procedural requirements in relation to the consideration of applications for planning permission under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990. Principal amendments to the 1999 Regulations are: a limitation to the requirement for subsequent applications to be subject to the screening process to those cases where the development in question is likely to have significant effects on the environment which were not identified at the time that the initial planning permission was granted; a requirement for the reasons for negative screening decisions to be provided in writing, to be registered and to be available for public inspection; clarification that any person may ask the Secretary of State to exercise the power of direction; the inclusion of sites for the geological storage of carbon dioxide in Schedule 1(22) and installations for the capture of carbon dioxide streams for the purposes of geological storage in Schedule 2(3)(j). These amendments are required by the Directive on the Geological Storage of Carbon Dioxide (Directive 2009/31/EC); consideration of the effects of the development as a whole once modified.
