Forestry (Amendment) Regulations 2020 (S.I. No. 31 of 2020).

These Regulations amend the Forestry Regulations 2017 in regulation 19 concerning an application for and the granting of a licence under sections 17 or 22 of the Forestry Act 2014, which is not directly connected with or necessary to the management of a European site (a habitat within the meaning of European Communities (Birds and Natural Habitats) Regulations 2011). These Regulation set out procedures and criteria for an impact assessment for the development that may affect (the integrity of) such site. Information additional to a Natura Impact Statement may be required. A minor amendment is made to regulation 20.
