Huntingdon West Area Action Plan Draft Final Sustainability Appraisal
The event is not currently available for consultation.
The Council is required, to carry out a Sustainability Appraisal (SA) and a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) of local development documents which comprise the LDF. Government guidance ‘Sustainability Appraisal of Regional Spatial Strategies and Local Development Documents’ (November 2005) recommends that the two requirements are met through one process. This SA incorporates both the SA and SEA requirements, and throughout the document these two processes will be referred to as ‘Sustainability Appraisal’ (SA). Its overarching aim is to achieve sustainable development.
The purpose of the SA was to assist Huntingdonshire District Council’s Development Plans Team to prepare its Huntingdon West Area Action Plan (HWAAP) Preferred Approach for consultation by carrying out the following:
- Identifying the key sustainability issues facing the District
- Assessing the likely effects of the Preferred Approach on these issues
- Putting forward recommendations that might mitigate against these effects
