Environmental Impact Assessment Scoping Opinion Request Submitted

Fri 8th Mar 2024 at 12:00

We have recently submitted submitted the Environmental Impact Assessment Scoping Opinion Request to the ESC Planning Department.
This is the initial step in evaluating the potential for likely significant effects to inform the scope of the Environmental Statement that will be prepared in support of an Outline Planning Application.
The aim of the EIA process is to ensure that the Proposed Development has due regard for the environment, minimises adverse environmental effects and takes advantage of opportunities for environmental enhancement.
We wanted to let everyone know because in the past these submissions have caused concern locally as they have been confused with actual planning applications. This is a technical document for review by the Local Planning Authority and does not require public comment.
