No. 296/2018 European Union (Planning and Development) (Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)) Regulations 2018, Appropriate Assessment Screening (AA) under the Habitats Directive (92/43/EEC) and the European Communities (Bird and Natural Habitats), dlr has carried out screenings and has determined the following:

  • An appropriate assessment has deemed that there are no likely significant adverse effects on the qualifying interests, special conservation interest or the conservation objectives of any designated European site. A determination has been made that an appropriate assessment is not required.
