ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT
Forest Service, an Agency of the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural
Affairs has provided opinions on the following projects in respect of the Environmental
Impact Assessment (Forestry) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2006 (as amended).
An opinion under the Regulations is formed taking account of the selection criteria
specified in the legislation. An opinion may be ‘relevant’ if it is considered that
a project is likely to have a significant effect on the environment or ‘not relevant’ if a project is
considered unlikely to have a significant effect on the environment. Each project is required to comply
with the UK Forestry Standard, which describes the governments’ approach to sustainable
forestry.
