Appropriate Assessment Screening Report
4.1 Summary of the Evaluation The Strategy modifications are broadly intended to provide clarification and further insight to existing information and give better effect to the Strategy having regard to the consultation process. They will not result in any additional sources for likely, significant environmental effects, including effects on ecological processes or European sites, not already considered by the existing AA Screening for the Draft Strategy. The Strategy modifications will not introduce any of the following types of additional environmental effect that have the potential to affect European sites.
Land take;
•
• Resource Requirements (Drinking Water Abstraction Etc.); • Emissions (Disposal to Land, Water or Air); • Excavation; • Transportation; • Construction, Operation, Decommissioning activities.
The Strategy modifications will not result in any of the following types of change that may occur at a European site, which may result in effects on the integrity and function of that site: • Reduction of Habitat Area. • Disturbance to Key Species. • Habitat or Species Fragmentation. • Reduction in Species Density. • Changes in Key Indicators of Conservation Value (Water Quality Etc.). • Climate Change impact.
Further assessment is therefore not required.
4.2 Other Plans and Programs Article 6(3) of the Habitats Directive requires an assessment of a plan or project to consider other plans or programmes that might, in combination with the plan or project, have the potential to adversely impact upon European Sites. There are no additional sources for effects identified within the proposed amendments; therefore, there are no in-combination effects.
