The role of the Sustainability Appraisal is to assess the extent to which the emerging policies will help achieve the wider environmental, economic and social objectives of the LDP.
Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA)
There is also a requirement to assess the likely significant environmental effects of implementing relevant plans and programmes and to examine the likely significant effects of reasonable alternatives to the plan.
