Aspects environnementaux

By their technical characteristics some project components fall under Annex II of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Directive. According to the decisions made by the Irish competent authorities, none of them requires Statutory Environmental Impact Assessment. Environmental Studies have however been carried out to support the relevant planning applications and mitigating and/or compensation measures will be applied as necessary. The impacts that can be typically expected for the project relate to visual impact, vegetation clearance, electromagnetic fields, noise nuisance and disturbance during construction.
