Section 128(2) states:

Before deciding whether to grant retrospective consent under section 121, the Commission shall, in addition to consideration of the matters to which it is required to have regard pursuant to this Act, also consider the significant effects on the environment, or on a European site, that have occurred, are occurring or could reasonably be expected to occur by reason of the development that is the subject of the application for retrospective consent having been carried out.
