Box 8 Screening analysis template Summary description of the plan or project and main aspects likely to cause impacts Objectives of the plan or project and its main characteristics/activities during different phases (e.g. construction, operation and decommissioning, if appropriate). Summary description of the Natura 2000 sites and their key features Habitats and species for which the sites have been designated and their conservation objectives. Description of individual aspects of the plan or project that could generate impacts on Natura 2000 sites including: — size and scale; — distance from the Natura 2000 sites; — land-take (direct/indirect); — resource requirements (e.g. water abstraction, soil/mineral excavation); — emissions (disposal to land, water or air); — transportation requirements; — duration and timing of construction, operation, decommissioning; — range of impact factors (e.g. noise, nitrogen deposition, turbidity). Description of likely effects on the Natura 2000 sites in view of the specific conservation objectives set out for the designating features, including: — reduction of habitat area, habitat degradation or fragmentation; — disturbance to species, reduction in species populations and density; — changes in ecological functions and/or features that are essential for the ecological requirements of habitats and species (e.g. water quality and quantity); — interference with the key relationships that define the structure and function of the site. Description of likely impacts in combination with other plans or projects: — impact factors to be considered for cumulative effects; — list and description of projects that may contribute to cumulative effects; — assessment of the extent and significance of cumulative effects in view of the site-specific conservation objectives. Criteria for assessing significance, indicators of significance, in view of the site-specific conservation objectives e.g.: — degree of habitat loss (absolute, relative), changes in habitats structure; — risk of species populations’ displacement, level of disturbance, reduction of species home range, feeding area, refuge areas, alteration of favourable condition for breeding; — importance of the habitats and species affected, e.g. representativeness, local variety; — importance of the site (e.g. limit of distribution area for certain habitats and species, stepping stone, important for ecological connectivity); — disruption or alteration of ecological functions; — changes to key ecological features of the site (e.g. water quality). Conclusions: Description, based on the above information, of the aspects of the plan or project, or combination of aspects, that are likely to cause significant impacts and the ones in relation to which the character or magnitude of impacts is not known. Likely significant effects: ☐ No ☐ Yes or uncertain
