Schedule 2, Part 1, paragraph 4(4)

In preparing the new plan the Department must— consider what has been done to implement the old plan, consider whether, having regard to data obtained under paragraph 5 and reports made by the OEP under paragraph 1 of Schedule 3, the natural environment has improved since the beginning of the period to which the old plan relates, consider whether any Northern Ireland department should take further or different steps to improve the natural environment (compared to those set out in the old plan) after the end of that period, and consult such other Northern Ireland departments as it considers appropriate.
