The Environmental Impact Assessment Report is a mandatory document required under Maltese law for specific categories of development projects that may significantly affect the environment. This requirement stems from both national legislation (Environmental Impact Assessment Regulations, S.L. 549.46) and EU directives. The document must be prepared when projects exceed certain thresholds or are located in sensitive areas, and it forms a critical component of the development permission process. It includes detailed assessments of environmental impacts, public consultation findings, technical studies, and proposed mitigation measures. The report must be prepared by qualified environmental consultants and requires approval from Malta's Environmental and Resources Authority (ERA) and Planning Authority (PA).
