Further information

11.—(1) Paragraph (2) applies where the Welsh Ministers consider—

(a) that the environmental statement fails to contain sufficient information of a description specified in any of the paragraphs of Part 2 of Schedule 1 to enable the environmental effects of the dredging to be fully considered; and

(b) having regard in particular to current knowledge and methods of assessment, that the applicant can reasonably be required to supply further information of such description.
