The Environmental Impact Assessment (Agriculture) (Wales) Regulations 2017
These Regulations primarily implement Directive 2011/92/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 December 2011 (OJ L 26, 28.1.2012, p. 1–21) on the assessment of the effects of certain public and private projects on the environment (“the EIA Directive”) in relation to two types of project in paragraph 1 of Annex II to that Directive: projects for the restructuring of rural land holdings and projects for the use of uncultivated land or semi-natural areas for intensive agricultural purposes.
