European Communities (Environmental Impact Assessment) (Agriculture) Regulations 2011 (S.I. No. 456 of 2011).
These Regulations provide compliance with the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Directive 85/337/EEC as amended insofar as it applies to certain categories of on-farm activities. They make provision for a statutory screening and consent system for these activities and also for environmental impact assessment for such development if it is likely to have a significant effect on the environment.
