Part 6: Environmental outcomes reports General Section 164: Interaction with existing environmental assessment legislation and the Habitats Regulations Background
This provision ensures that legislation made under this Part is able to interact with existing environmental assessment legislation, as well as the Habitats Regulations, subject to non-regression provisions. This is necessary to ensure that where an Environmental Outcomes Report is prepared, where appropriate, this is capable of meeting the requirements of existing environmental assessment so as to avoid duplication.
