Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) is a formal systematic evaluation of the likely significant environmental effects of implementing a plan or programme before a decision is made to adopt the plan or programme. The SEA Directive (2001/42/EC) is transposed into Irish Law through:
- S.I. No. 435 of 2004 – European Communities (Environmental Assessment of Certain Plans and Programmes) Regulation, 2007.
- S.I. No. 436 of 2004. Planning and Development (Strategic Environmental Assessment) Regulations, 2004.
We consider that the central goals of SEA are to protect the environment, integrate the environment into decision making and lead to better planning.
