Forest Expansion Scheme
Controls to Avoid Damage to Environmental and Cultural Features
You need to complete this form to let us know what impact your afforestation project might
have on protected areas, scheduled monuments or other environmental and cultural
features. The information you provide will help us to form an opinion on whether your
proposals will have a significant effect on the environment in respect of the Environmental
Impact Assessment (Forestry) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2006.
You need to detail operations outside a designated area if they are likely to cause damage
or disturbance to key features within the protected area.
The form will also help you to identify and describe the protected area/monument or the
environmental/cultural feature and demonstrate how you will minimise potential impacts.
Please refer to the Protected Areas listed on the Northern Ireland Environment Agency
website at http://maps.ehsni.gov.uk/naturalheritage/#
and the scheduled monuments at http://maps.ehsni.gov.uk/MapViewer/Default.aspx
