The form could not be submitted for the following reasons:
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a process that identifies both the positive and negative environmental effects of proposed developments prior to planning permission being considered. It aims to prevent, reduce or offset any identified significant adverse environmental effects of development proposals.
The EIA process is a method of ensuring that planning decisions are made in the full knowledge of the environmental effects and with full engagement of statutory bodies, local interest groups and members of the public.
The requirement for an EIA will only affect a small number of projects in Jersey. Below is the list of developments which will require an EIA. Any changes or extensions to a development that was previously subject to an EIA will also require an updated EIA.
If you're still unsure or consider that you shouldn't be required to undertake an EIA, you can complete an EIA advice request form. If you are undertaking an EIA and want to know what you need to provide, you can also request this on the EIA advice request form.
