I take it that we are in agreement on the proposed subsection (10). In substance, the amendment and section 24(10)(a) are the same. Under the proposed subsection (11), what the Deputy is looking for is provided for under the SEA directive. The wording “significant effects on the environment” used in the amendment is covered by that directive and the European site element is covered by the AA. What is the meaning of the phrase “either individually or in combination with other plans or projects, the modification shall ... be deemed to be minor”?
