CONSULTATION DESCRIPTION We want to know what you think about our proposals to amend EIA regulations on forestry, agriculture, water resources, land drainage and marine works. These changes,

agreed in 2014, will make the EIA regulations work more efficiently, focusing more on where environmental protection is really needed. Environmental impact assessment (EIA) means checking

if work (eg construction) will harm the environment and agreeing what needs to be done to avoid environmental damage. This is a joint consultation between Defra, the Welsh Government, the

Scottish Government and the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs in Northern Ireland. SHARE THIS PAGE The following links open in a new tab * Share on Facebook (opens in
