Scoping Report SA SEA
This page is about the Sustainability Appraisal (SA) and Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) Scoping Report
The Scoping Report sets out the plans, policies and programs, from an international to a local level, which will influence the Local Development Framework (LDF), sustainability objectives and indicators, baseline information and the next steps for undertaking sustainability appraisals.
The baseline outlines the quality of life in the borough today, the key sustainability issues, problems and opportunities, and how the sustainability objectives might be achieved.

The Scoping Report for the Development Management & Site Allocations (DMSA) Development Plan Document (DPD) has been out for a period of consultation which finished in August 2009. The revised version is now available which takes account of the responses that were received during this consultation. Underneath the link to the Revised Scoping Report are copies of the comments received during the consultation period, and a table with our responses to those comments.
The Revised Scoping Report will be used for the Sustainability Appraisal (incorporating the requirements of the 'SEA Directive') of the DMSA DPD.
