Read Screening or Scoping Opinions that we've issued for a development proposal.
Environmental Impact Assessment Screening and Scoping Opinions are issued by the council under the Town and Country Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) Regulations 2017 (as amended).
A Screening Opinion states whether the council (or, if applicable, Secretary of State) considers that an Environmental Statement should be submitted for a future or current development proposal.
A Scoping Opinion states the extent of issues to be considered in the statement.
After a screening or scoping opinion has been adopted it must be held on the public register for a period of 2 years.
You can find copies of screening and scoping opinions given from 2019 prior to the submission of a planning application in the table below.
To view a copy of opinions given before 2019, send an email to planning.applications@brighton-hove.gov.uk.
