Determine requirement for an
Environmental Statement (ES). An ES is mandatory for installation of a pipeline that is
greater than 40 km in length and 800 mm in diameter. Many
smaller pipelines may form part of a wider development where an ES
will be required (see New Projects).
In this case the pipelines will be included in the wider development ES/PON15D submission
and so a PON15C need not be submitted to determine requirement for
an ES. |
| |
Undertake Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and prepare ES. |
|
Undertake informal consultation with statutory consultees,
DECC, JNCC and FRS/CEFAS. |
|
Undertake early consultation with fishing interests. |
|
Identify if development occurs in vicinity of any habitats
or protected species under EU Habitats Directive. Additional measures
and a Habitats Regulatory Assessment may be required. |
|
|
Prepare environmental information (and possibly chemical
permit application) section of PON15C. |
