Appendix 1: Requirements of Directive 2001/42/EC (SEA Directive) Article 1 of the Directive states that its objective is “to provide for a high level of protection of the environment and to contribute to the integration of environmental considerations into the preparation and adoption of plans and programmes with a view to promoting sustainable development”. Preparing an environmental report, in which the likely significant effects on the environment of implementing the plan, and reasonable alternatives taking into account the objectives and geographical scope of the plan, are identified, described and evaluated. The information to be given is (Article 5 and Annex I):

a. An outline of the contents, main objectives and relationship with other relevant plans;

b. The relevant aspects of the current state of the environment and the likely evolution thereof without implementation of the plan;

c. The environmental characteristics of areas likely to be significantly affected;

d. Any existing environmental problems which are relevant to the plan including, in particular, those relating to any areas of a particular environmental importance, such as areas designated pursuant to Directives 79/409/EEC and 92/43/EEC;

e. The environmental protection objectives, established at international, Community or national level, which are relevant to the plan and the way those objectives have been taken account of during its preparation;

f. The likely significant effects on the environment, including on issues such as biodiversity, population, human health, fauna, flora, soil, water, air, climatic factors, material assets, cultural heritage including architectural and archaeological heritage, landscape and the interrelationship between the above factors. (These effects should include secondary, cumulative, synergistic, short, medium, and long-tern, permanent and temporary, positive and negative effects);

g. The measures envisaged to prevent, reduce and as fully as possible offset any significant adverse effects on the environment on implementing the plan;

h. An outline of the reasons for selecting the alternatives dealt with, and a description of how the assessment was undertaken including any difficulties (such as technical deficiencies or a lack of know-how) encountered in compiling the required information;

i. A description of measures envisaged concerning monitoring in accordance to Article 10;

j. A non-technical summary of the information provided under the above headings

The report must include the information that may reasonably be required, taking into account current knowledge and methods of assessment, the contents and level of detail in the plan, its stage in the decision-making process and the extent to which certain proposals are more appropriately assessed at different levels in that process to avoid duplication of the assessment (Article 5.2)

• The plan as adopted

• A statement summarising how environmental considerations have been integrated into the plan and how the environmental report of Article 5, the opinions expressed pursuant to Article 6 and the results of consultations entered into pursuant to Article 7 have been taken into account in accordance with Article 8, and the reasons for choosing the plan as adopted, in light of the other reasonable alternatives dealt with; and

• The measures decided concerning monitoring (Article 9)

NATIONAL POLICY GUIDANCE: PLANNING POLICY STATEMENTS (PPS)

PPS 1: Delivering Sustainable Development

� Planning should facilitate and promote sustainable and inclusive patterns of

urban and rural development by

o Making suitable land available for development in line with

economic, social and environmental objectives to improve people’s

quality of life

o Contributing to sustainable economic development

o Protecting and enhancing the natural and historic environment, the

quality and character of the countryside, and existing communities

o Ensuring high quality development through good and inclusive

design, and the efficient use of resources; and,

o Ensuring that development supports existing communities and

contributes to the creation of safe, sustainable, liveable and mixed

communities with good access to jobs and key services for all

members of the community.

PPS 7: Sustainable development in rural areas

� To raise the quality of life and the environment in rural areas.

� To promote more sustainable patterns of development.

� Promoting the development of the English regions by improving their economic

performance so that all are able to reach their full potential.


Page 8 of 40

� To promote sustainable, diverse and adaptable agricultural sectors.


NATIONAL POLICY GUIDANCE: PLANNING POLICY STATEMENTS (PPS)

PPS12: Local Development Frameworks

� Plans should be flexible. Local planning authorities can respond to changing local

circumstances and ensure that special plans are prepared and reviewed more

quickly than development plans under the old system

� Strengthening community and stakeholder involvement in the development of

local communities. Local communities and all the stakeholders will be involved

from the outset and through out the preparation of local development documents

� Front loading . Local planning authorities should take key decisions early in the

preparation of local development documents The aim will be to seek consensus

on essential issues early in the preparation of local development documents and

so avoid late changes being made.

� Sustainability appraisal. To ensure that local development documents are

prepared with the objective of contributing to the achievement of sustainable

development

� Programme management. The efficient management of the programme for the

preparation of a range of local development scheme

� Soundness. Local development documents must be soundly based in terms of

their content and the process by which they are produced. They must also be

based upon a robust, credible evidence base.

PPS 22: Renewable Energy

� Renewable energy developments should be capable of being accommodated

throughout England in locations where the technology is viable and

environmental, economic and social impacts can be addressed satisfactorily.

� RSS and LDDs should contain policies designed to promote and encourage,

rather than restrict the development of renewable energy resources. LPA should

recognise the full range of renewable energy sources, their differing

characteristics, locational requirements and the potential for exploiting them

subject to appropriate environmental safeguards.

� At the local level, planning authorities should set out the criteria that will be

applied in assessing applications for planning permission for renewable energy

projects.

� The wider environmental and economic benefits of all proposals for renewable

energy projects need to be considered when determining whether proposals

should be granted planning permission.

� Planning authorities should not make assumptions about the technical and

commercial feasibility of renewable energy projects.

� Planning authorities should not reject planning applications simply because the

level of output is small. Small-scale projects can provide a valuable contribution

to overall renewable energy output.

� LPA, regional stakeholders, and Local Strategic Partnerships should foster

community involvement in renewable energy projects and seek to promote

knowledge of and greater acceptance by the public of prospective renewable

energy developments that are appropriately located.

� Development proposals should demonstrate any environmental, economic and

social benefits as well as how any environmental and social impacts have been

minimised through careful consideration of location, scale, design and other

measures.
