Roads (Environmental Impact Assessment) (Amendment) (Northern Ireland) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019

Proposed Negative
Published: 05 Februray 2019
Sift end date: 26 February 2019

These Regulations are made to correct a number of deficiencies in the Roads (Northern Ireland) Order 1993, Part V (environmental impact assessment), which would otherwise result from the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union. This will maintain in Northern Ireland the existing environmental impact assessment regime in relation to road schemes of the Department for Infrastructure Northern Ireland, adjusting the language which would otherwise indicate the United Kingdom was a member State of the European Union.

They also correct an out of date reference to European Legislation (by substituting a reference to Directive 2011/92/EU, on the assessment of the effects of certain public and private projects on the environment, for a reference to the repealed Directive 85/337/EEC which it replaced).
