(1) An environmental report is a document in which significant effects of the plan on the environment, nature conservation, the protection of human health and the protection of cultural heritage are defined, described and evaluated, along with possible alternatives, taking into account the environmental objectives and characteristics of the area to which the plan relates.

In the preparation of the plan, besides regulations, programmes and plans from the spheres of environmental protection, nature conservation, the protection of natural resources, the protection of cultural heritage and environmental starting-points, the guidelines and background provided by ministries and organisations responsible, with regard to the content of the plan, for individual environmental protection matters or the protection or use of natural goods or the protection of cultural heritage, must also be taken into account.
