Local Planning Authorities such as Luton Borough Council use SA to assess plans against a set of sustainability objectives developed in consultation with local stakeholders and communities. This assessment helps the Council to identify the relative environmental, social and economic performance of possible strategic, policy and site options, and to evaluate which of these may be more sustainable. SA is a statutory process incorporating the requirements of the European Union Strategic Environmental Assessment Directive. About Draft Luton Local Plan The Draft Luton Local Plan sets out a proposed set of policies, development allocations and actions to meet the environmental, social and economic challenges facing the borough over the 20 year period from 2011. When adopted it will provide a strategy for the distribution and level of development and supporting infrastructure, a set of proposals to meet that strategy, policies against which to assess planning applications, and proposals for monitoring the success of the plan. Purpose and Context of the Sustainability Report The purpose of this Sustainability Report is to: Identify, describe and evaluate the likely significant effects of the Local Plan and its reasonable alternatives; and Provide an early and effective opportunity for statutory consultees, interested parties and the public to offer views on any aspect of the SA process which has been carried out to date. The Sustainability Report contains: An outline of the contents and main objectives of the Local Plan and its relationship with other plans, programmes and strategies; Relevant aspects of the current state of the environment and key sustainability issues for the borough; The SA Framework against which the Local Plan has been assessed; An appraisal of alternative strategic directions that the Local Plan could reasonably take; i Sustainability Report on the Draft Luton Local Plan June 2014 Non-Technical Summary UE-130 Draft Luton LP SA Report_7_140603 An assessment of alternative options for meeting Local Plan strategy; An explanation of the likely significant effects of the Draft Local Plan in sustainability terms; The measures envisaged to prevent, reduce and as fully as possible offset any significant adverse effects which may arise as a result of the Local Plan; A description of the measures envisaged concerning monitoring; and The next steps for the SA. The Sustainability Appraisal Scoping Stage An SA Scoping Report was prepared by the Council and submitted to stakeholders for consultation in October 2012. This set out the intended scope and level of detail to be included in the Sustainability Report and included a plan, programme and strategy review, an evidence base for the assessment, key issues and environmental challenges to address, and an SA Framework of appraisal objectives against which the Local Plan could be assessed. Following consultation on the Scoping Report, the information presented in the document was updated to take account of the responses received.

  • Luton Motor Town
    Contents Luton: Motor Town Luton: Motor Town 1910 - 2000 The resources in this pack focus on the major changes in the town during the 20th century. For the majority of the period Luton was a prosperous, optimistic town that encouraged forward-looking local planning and policy. The Straw Hat Boom Town, seeing problems ahead in its dependence on a single industry, worked hard to attract and develop new industries. In doing so it fuelled a growth that changed the town forever. However Luton became almost as dependant on the motor industry as it had been on the hat industry. The aim of this pack is to provide a core of resources that will help pupils studying local history at KS2 and 3 form a picture of Luton at this time. The primary evidence included in this pack may photocopied for educational use. If you wish to reproduce any part of this park for any other purpose then you should first contact Luton Museum Service for permission. Please remember these sheets are for educational use only. Normal copyright protection applies. Contents 1: Teachers’ Notes Suggestions for using these resources Bibliography 2: The Town and its buildings 20th Century Descriptions A collection of references to the town from a variety of sources. They illustrate how the town has been viewed by others during this period. Luton Council on Luton The following are quotes from the Year Book and Official Guides produced by Luton Council over the years. They offer an idea of how the Luton Council saw the town it was running.
