5. A description of the likely significant effects of the works on the environment resulting from, inter alia—
(a)the construction and existence of the works, including, where relevant, demolition works;
(b)the use of natural resources, in particular land, soil, water and biodiversity, considering as far as possible the sustainable availability of these resources;
(c)the emission of pollutants, noise, vibration, light, heat and radiation, the creation of nuisances, and the disposal and recovery of waste;
(d)the risks to human health, cultural heritage or the environment (for example due to accidents or disasters);
(e)the cumulation of effects with other existing and/or approved works, taking into account any existing environmental problems relating to areas of particular environmental importance likely to be affected or the use of natural resources;
(f)the impact of the works on climate (for example the nature and magnitude of greenhouse gas emissions) and the vulnerability of the works to climate change; and
(g)the technologies and substances used.
The description of the likely significant effects on the factors specified in Article 3.1 of the Directive should cover the direct effects and any indirect, secondary, cumulative, transboundary, short, medium and long-term, permanent and temporary, positive and negative effects of the works. This description should take into account the environmental protection objectives established at EU or Member State level which are relevant to the works, including in particular those established under Council Directive 92/43/EEC(1) and Directive 2009/147/EC(2) of the European Parliament and of the Council.
