The European Communities (Environmental Impact Assessment) (Agriculture) Regulations 2011 (commonly known as EIA Agriculture Regulations 2011) implement European Union Directive 2001/42/EC, requiring an environmental impact assessment for certain agricultural projects. The EIA Agriculture Regulations 2011 aim to integrate environmental considerations into decision-making processes for specific agricultural projects. These Regulations ensure that environmental impacts are thoroughly evaluated and taken into account during the planning and authorisation of agricultural developments.
Compliance with the EIA Agriculture Regulations 2011 is crucial for agricultural businesses to ensure that their projects are environmentally sustainable and that potential adverse effects on the environment are adequately assessed and mitigated.
