Sustainability Appraisal Scoping Report Consultation

As part of the evidence-gathering for the Joint Local Plan, the Councils have published a Sustainability Appraisal Scoping Report. Sustainability Appraisal helps us understand the social, environmental and economic impacts of the plan and the different options we could take. This Scoping Report explains how we propose to carry out that assessment.

SA Scoping Report

We are now asking for your views on the Scoping Report. We would like to know:

- Are there any other plans, policies or programmes that you think should be included in the Sustainability Appraisal?
- Is the baseline information complete and robust enough for this stage of the assessment?
- Are there any key sustainability issues affecting the area that we have missed?
- Is the proposed Sustainability Appraisal framework in Chapter 11 appropriate?

In your representation please state whether you are commenting on the document overall, a particular section and/or which paragraph(s).
