In this section you can view our Assessment of environmental effects (AEE) documentation, and find out more about the possible effects of the project on the environment and the community. The AEE is submitted to support the application forms. It includes a description about the project, assessment of the actual and potential effects, the alternatives considered, and assessment of the measures identified to avoid, remedy or mitigate the effects.

The AEE summarises and includes important relevant information from the longer technical assessment reports. Where necessary within the AEE, a cross-reference is provided to these reports. The AEE report should also be read in conjunction with the drawings and plan set. A cross-reference to relevant plans is also provided in the AEE report where necessary.
