New-Aquitaine: Plans, Schemas, Programs reviewed by the environmental authority under the so-called “case-by-case review” procedure in 2016 — Perimeters (surface)

This dataset contains the scopes of the Plans Schemes Programmes reviewed by the environmental authority under the so-called “case-by-case review” procedure for the year 2016 of the New Aquitaine region. Environmental assessment procedures are intended to ensure that foreseeable environmental impacts are anticipated in order to avoid or reduce them, in a preventive approach to environmental damage. European and national legislation thus provides that operations likely to affect the environment shall be subject to a specific authorisation process ensuring that: — a guarantee that environmental sensitivities and issues considered in an extensive design (biodiversity, climate, natural resources, natural and technological risks, pollution and nuisances, health risks, etc.) are taken into account; — a guarantee of good information to the public from the early stages of projects, based on the European principle of the necessary public participation in choices likely to affect the environment. Public and private project promoters are required, as part of these specific procedures, to produce environmental reports or impact assessments that reflect how they have taken the environment into account when designing a project or plan or programme. This assessment shall be subject to the public opinion of an environmental authority. It should be noted that national texts fall under the Environmental Code and the Urban Planning Code.
