Environmental Statement
The Environmental Statement is a detailed report of the findings of the Environmental Impact Assessment process. In particular, it predicts the environmental effects that the proposed Scheme would have, and details the measures proposed to reduce or eliminate those effects. Its function is to give stakeholders, including the public and statutory environmental bodies an opportunity to express an opinion before the scheme is initiated, in accordance with part V of The Roads (Northern Ireland) Order 1993 [as amended].
The Environmental Statement comprises two parts, of different levels of detail:
the Statement - a comprehensive and concise document drawing together all the relevant information about the project.
a Non-Technical Summary (NTS) - a brief report summarising the principal sections of the Statement in non-technical language.
The Statement comprises three volumes in accordance with the Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB); these are:
Volume 1: Environmental Assessment – the main text of the document which includes separate Introduction (Part I), Environmental Assessment (Part II), Conclusions (Part III) and References and Glossary.
Volume 2: Appendices – all supplementary information associated with the document.
Volume 3: Drawings – all drawings referenced within Volume 1 of the Statement.
