Economic activities are subject to environmental controls by the Administration with the aim of imposing the necessary measures to minimise their impact on the environment.
On many occasions, these measures are mere declarations stating the start of an activity. However, if a significant environmental impact is proven, the start of an activity requires a preliminary concession of an environmental permit inclusive of all the necessary technical, legal, urban and environmental documentation.
Our law firm offers advice on how to interpret and implement these regulations, which must respect both the collective interests of environmental protection and also the rights of businesses to carry out their activities.
