What is it?
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a systematic means of assessing the likely significant environmental effects arising from a proposed development and seek opportunities to avoid or mitigate adverse effects or enhance positive ones. The EIA is submitted with the planning application and is used to decide whether the proposals are acceptable or not.
Developments falling within a description in Schedule 1 to the 2017 EIA Regulations always requires an EIA. Development of a type listed in Schedule 2 to the 2017 EIA Regulations will require an EIA if it is found through the screening process that it's likely to have a significant effect on the environment.
