Sustainability Appraisal Scoping Report

We are required to fully integrate Sustainability Appraisal in the preparation of the LDF Core Strategy. The purpose of Sustainability Appraisal is to assess the social, economic and environmental effects of any proposed policies to be included in the Core Strategy. The first stage of the sustainability appraisal process is the production of a Scoping Report, providing the framework to be used to help develop policy options and consider their possible effects. Public consultation on a draft Sustainability Appraisal Scoping Report was undertaken from 25 June to 1 September 2008. The final sustainability appraisal report is published below:
