These Regulations revoke and replace the Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012 (“the 2012 Regulations”). The 2012 Regulations consolidated and amended the Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) Regulations 1999 which implemented Council Directive 85/337/EEC (O.J. No. L. 175, 5.7.1985, p 40 (“the EIA Directive”)) on the assessment of the effects of certain public and private projects on the environment. The EIA Directive was amended by Directive 97/11/EC, (O.J. No. L 73, 14.3.1997, p.5); Directive 2003/35/EC, (O.J. No. L 156, 25.6.2003, p.17); and Directive 2009/31/EC, (O.J. No. 140, 5.6.2009, p.114). It was then repealed and replaced by Directive 2011/92/EU (O.J. No. L26, 28.1.2012, p.1) which entered into force on 17th February 2012.
