Ministerial amendment No. 26, on retrospective consent, states this "means retention permission for development in respect of which an appropriate assessment or an environmental impact assessment is required". There can also be regularisation of development in breach of EU law that goes further than an EIA failure or appropriate assessment, so this proposed amendment does not cover everything here. It is relevant all right but it does not cover everything where there are other breaches of EU law.
