Statute overview

About this statute

This law amends the Danish environmental assessment rules for plans, programs, and projects, and says public hearing must happen as early as possible before the authority decides, with a limited exception for certain projects adopted by special law. Projects in annex 1 or 2 may be exempted from environmental assessment rules in exceptional cases, if the exemption would harm the project’s purpose and the law’s purpose is still met. Section 38 mainly amends definitions and authority rules, and requires the developer to submit a written application before starting, expanding, or changing certain projects that may significantly affect the environment. The builder must submit a written application before starting, expanding, or changing projects covered by Annex 2. The applicant must include specified project and environmental information in the application, and the authority must provide relevant environmental information and may set or later change permit conditions and monitoring measures.
