From 1st January 2021

Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA)

Projects listed in Schedule 1 of the 2020 EIA Regulations are subject to an EIA process as required by regulation 5(1). Projects listed in Schedule 2 are subject to a screening process to determine if an EIA is necessary, but the developer may wish to undertake an EIA as set out in regulation 5(2)(b), if they choose. To access further information on projects which are subject to the EIA process, please use the relevant link below.

Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) - Transitional Cases

For projects where the Oil and Gas Authority decision on whether to grant consent is pending at the time when the 2020 EIA Regulations came into force, EIA’s are subject to the provisions of regulation 29 (Transitional and Saving Provisions relating to the 1999 Regulations). To access further information on EIA projects which are subject to the provisions of regulation 29, please use the relevant link below.

Screening Directions

Projects listed in Schedule 2 of the 2020 EIA Regulations require a screening direction in accordance with regulation 5(2)(a) to determine if an EIA is necessary. Screening directions for projects which have been through the screening process since 1st January 2021 can be accessed using the link below.

Deep Drilling Screening Directions

Pipeline Screening Directions

Production Screening Directions

Regulation 5(3) Decisions that No environmental impact assessment is needed without a screening direction

Schedule 3 Projects

The 2020 EIA Regulations provide that projects that fall under Schedule 3 do not require an EIA where the Secretary of State considers that the project is not likely to have a significant effect on the environment pursuant to regulation 7. Those projects are:

  • The construction of a pipeline for the transport of oil, combustible gas, or chemicals, or for the transport of carbon dioxide streams for the purposes of geological storage of carbon dioxide, or the maintenance, repair, replacement, protection or extension of an existing pipeline constructed for those purposes where no part of the pipeline or related works would extend more than 500 metres from a well or any part of an installation to which that pipeline would be directly or indirectly attached.
