The implementation of the principles of sustainable development is based on, among other things, rationalization of the physical planning policy, both on the national, regional and local levels. Decisions taken frequently determine the ultimate choice of directions in physical development or the localization of specific projects, more often than not those that have a significant negative effect on the environment and human health. These hazards should be eliminated at at the earliest possible stage of project planning or design work. An essential role in such preventive actions is played by predictions of the effects of provisions of local physical plans on the natural environment and environmental impact asscmcnts. This articles discusses changes in the system of environmental impact assessments, valid in Poland since 1980, pursuant to the provisions of the Physical Planning Law of July 7, 1994. article presents legal schemata which are binding for predictions of the effect of the provisions of local physical plans and environmental impact assessments against the background of and for the purpose of the implementation of the principles of sustainable development.

It also reviews environmental impact assessments in the process of obtaining a building permit, and environmental impact assessments carried out for the existing building structures or their complexes.
