Consultation on Draft Integrated Implementation Plan 2019-2024 & associated Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) & Appropriate Assessment (AA)

The National Transport Authority (the “Authority”) invites written submissions or observations on the Draft Integrated Implementation Plan 2019 – 2024 (the “draft Plan”), which has been prepared by the Authority in accordance with Section 13 of the Dublin Transport Authority Act 2008.

In accordance with Directive 2001/42/EC of the European Parliament and Council of 27th June 2001 on the assessment of the effects of certain plans and programmes on the environment as transposed into Irish law by the European Communities (Environmental Assessment of Certain Plans and Programmes) Regulations 2004, as amended, a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) of the draft Plan is being carried out. An Environmental Report has been prepared which assesses, at a strategic level, the likely significant effects on the environment of implementing the draft Plan.

In compliance with Article 6 of Council Directive 92/43/EEC of 21st May 1992, commonly known as the Habitats Directive, on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora as transposed into Irish law by, inter alia, the European Communities (Birds and Natural Habitats). Regulations 2011, as amended, an Appropriate Assessment is also being carried out and a Natura Impact Report has been prepared to inform the determination as to whether the draft Plan will impact on the integrity and conservation objectives of relevant European Sites.
