Appropriate Assessment

TII determines that certain plans or projects require Appropriate Assessments (AAs) when it cannot be excluded, based on objective scientific information, that they may significantly affect European sites. In such cases, TII prepares Natura Impact Statements (NISs) and submits them to the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage. A minimum six-week period is observed before concluding each AA.

TII considers any submissions received from the Minister, carries out public consultations, and publishes notices of proposed plans or projects on its website. Each AA includes a determination on whether the plan or project will adversely affect the integrity of a European site. TII only adopts or undertakes plans or projects after confirming that there will be no such adverse effect.

Sensitive conservation data and personal information are redacted from the published NISs and determinations to protect species, habitats, and privacy, in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
