The affected projects must be subject to an environmental impact assessment, whose report on the significant effects of the project on the environment will have the nature of a mandatory and decisive report, establishing one of these three possibilities, before its final authorisation by the substantive body:
a) That the project must be subject to an ordinary environmental impact assessment because it could have significant effects on the environment.
(b) That the project does not have significant adverse effects on the environment, but shall indicate at least the measures envisaged to prevent what might otherwise have been significant adverse effects on the environment.
c) That it is not possible to issue a resolution based on the possible adverse effects of the project on the environment, since the environmental body does not have sufficient elements of judgment, proceeding to the termination of the procedure with the archiving of the proceedings.

The promoter is obliged to submit to the substantive body an application for the initiation of a simplified environmental impact assessment, accompanied by the environmental document with the content determined in article 45.1 of Law 21/2013.
Within twenty working days of receipt of the request for initiation, the environmental body may decide its inadmissibility, giving the promoter a prior hearing, for any of the following reasons:
a) If it unequivocally considers that the project is manifestly unfeasible for environmental reasons.
b) If it considers that the environmental document does not meet sufficient quality conditions.
