EIA / AA screening / scoping

In respect of the above, the legislation provides that where a request is made under section 7(1) seeking a determination as to whether the development is of a class standing specified in Part 2, Schedule 5 of the Planning and Development Regulations, 2001 or whether the development is likely individually or in combination with another project, to have a significant effect on a European site, the Board shall have issued the determination prior to the making of an application.
