Environmental Amelioration Measures for Major Industrial Expansion
Where permission for major industrial expansion is granted, amelioration measures for both the extension and existing enterprise impacts must be taken. Planning agreements may secure environmental improvements, and conditions will ensure adequate landscaping, parking and servicing.
In all cases where permission for major expansion is granted, the Department will require measures to be taken to ameliorate the impact, not only of the extension but also of the existing enterprise, on the local environment. Such measures will normally be considered essential to the grant of planning permission. Where necessary, planning agreements may be used to secure environmental improvements. Conditions will also be imposed to ensure there is adequate landscaping, parking and servicing provision.
