We are now consulting on the Sustainability Appraisal (SA) Objectives and Alternatives Report for the Local Plan Issues and Options document. The consultation will take place from Monday 13 January to Monday 16 March 2020.
SA is a systematic process that aims to promote sustainable development by assessing the extent to which the emerging plan, when judged against reasonable alternatives, will help to achieve relevant environmental, economic and social objectives. The SA process is an opportunity to consider ways by which the Local Plan can contribute to improvements in environmental, social and economic conditions, as well as a means of identifying and mitigating any potential adverse effects that the plan might otherwise have.
Section 19 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 requires local planning authorities to carry out a sustainability appraisal (SA) of their emerging Local Plan.
