Introduction 1.1.1 This Sustainability Appraisal (SA) Report forms part of the Council’s pre-deposit proposal documents for the Revised Carmarthenshire Local Development Plan (LDP). The purpose of the SA is to identify any likely significant economic, environmental and social effects of the LDP, and to suggest measures to minimise the positive ones. This process promotes more sustainable development and foster a more inclusive and transparent process of producing a LDP, and helps to ensure that the LDP is integrated with other policies. 1.1.2 Sustainability Appraisal is a statutory requirement for Local Development Plans under Section 62(6) of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004. The purpose of Sustainability Appraisal is to assess the social and economic effects of the component policies, proposals and strategy elements of the Local Development Plan to ensure that decisions accord with the principles of sustainable development. 1.1.3 The Welsh Government define sustainable development in Wales through the Well- being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015 as: “the process of improving the economic, social, environmental and cultural well-being of Wales by taking action, in accordance with the sustainable development principle, aimed at achieving the well-being goals”. 1.1.4 Welsh Government Guidance on the Preparation of Local Development Plans identifies that a Sustainability Appraisal must integrate the requirements of the Strategic Environmental Assessment Regulations. The requirements of EU Directive 2001/42/EC (also known as the SEA Directive) have been transposed into Welsh Law through The Environmental Assessment of Plans and Programmes (Wales) Regulations 2004. Strategic Environmental Assessment requires the formal assessment of certain plans and programmes that are likely to have significant effects on the environment; this includes LDPs. 1.1.5 The SA is undertaken in parallel to the Habitats Regulations Assessment (HRA). 1.2 SA/SEA and the LDP process 1.2.1 The LDP Manual outlines five main stages in undertaking an SA (see Table 1). SA is an iterative process, resulting in comment and feedback at each stage of the LDP and thus allowing the potential sustainability implications of proposed options/policies to be considered and the process to be transparent. If necessary, the LDP can be refined throughout its preparation to ensure it is a sustainable document. 3 SA – SEA Initial Report December 2018 Revised Carmarthenshire Local Development Plan 2018 - 2033 Table 1 Stages in the SA Process and their relationship to LDP.
