Details

Sometimes more than one competent authority may need to undertake an appropriate assessment of a plan or project or determine if one is required. In such circumstances, it may be appropriate for competent authorities to coordinate their roles. This can help simplify the assessment process and reduce its time and costs for both the applicant and the competent authorities involved.
