Ensure compliance and protect natural habitats with AIS Environment’s comprehensive Nature Permits and Tree Permits solutions. Our experts guide you through the permitting process, from application to implementation, helping you navigate regulations and safeguard biodiversity for your development projects.
What is a Nature Permit?
The Environment and Resources Authority (ERA) in Malta is responsible for ensuring that all development projects that may affect important habitats, species, or trees are carried out in an environmentally responsible manner. In order to do this, the ERA has implemented a number of nature permitting regulations and procedures. AIS can handle different types of permits related to developments and works:
Nature permits for important species and habitats: Ensuring your projects comply with environmental regulations while protecting vital ecosystems.
Tree Permits: Facilitating responsible tree removal and management while adhering to local laws.
Disposal to Sea Permits: Ensuring compliance with marine regulations and minimising environmental impacts during waste disposal.
Waste Consignment Permits: Managing waste responsibly and complying with legal requirements for safe disposal and recycling.
What projects require these permits?
Nature permitting is required for any development project that may affect important habitats or species. These projects are reviewed by the ERA to determine their potential impact on the environment. If a project may have a significant impact, the ERA will require a nature permit. The ERA may also request an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA).
Tree permitting is required for any works that may affect trees that are protected under Maltese law. This includes all indigenous trees, as well as non-indigenous trees that have been designated as protected.
