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 and an environmental statement is
required to fulfil consent requirements. Alternatively an opinion may be ‘not relevant’ if a project is considered unlikely to have a significant effect on the environment and important habitats and species
and features of cultural interest are considered to be unaffected by the proposal.
Each project is required to comply with the UK Forestry Standard, which describes
the governments’ approach to sustainable forestry.
Maps and information relating to these projects have been placed on www.daera-ni.gov.uk/topics/forestry.
Further information may be obtained by contacting Policy and Regulation Branch at
028 6634 3034 or by emailing forest.regulation@daera-ni.gov.uk. Any person wishing
to comment on the likely environmental effects of the above project may do so in writing
by 1st May 2023 to Forest Service, Policy and Regulation Branch, Inishkeen House,
Killyhevlin, Enniskillen, Co. Fermanagh BT74 4EJ or by emailing forest.regulation@daera-ni.gov.uk.
