The purpose of SA is to promote sustainable development through assessing the extent to which an emerging plan, when judged against reasonable alternatives, will help to achieve relevant environmental, economic and social objectives1. Initially the scope of the SA is determined by establishing the baseline conditions and context of the draft plan by considering other relevant plans and objectives, and by identifying issues, problems and opportunities for the area. From this scope, an SA Framework of objectives relevant for sustainable development in the plan area is developed to form the basis against which the draft plan is assessed. 1.2 The requirement for SA is set out in planning legislation2 and in paragraph 165 of the National Planning Policy Framework3 (NPPF). Local Plans must also be subject to Strategic Environmental Assessment4 (SEA) and Government advises5 that an integrated approach is taken so that the SA process incorporates the requirements for SEA – and to the same level of detail. This (Integrated) SA Report is part of the evidence base for the Regulation 18 Draft Central Bedfordshire Local Plan (CBLP) and it accompanies the Regulation 18 Draft CBLP for public consultation. Central Bedfordshire Council (the Council) has commissioned independent specialist consultants Enfusion Ltd to undertake the SA process (incorporating SEA) for the CBLP. Health Impact Assessment (HIA) & Equalities Impact Assessment (EqIA) 1.3 The Council has chosen to integrate Health Impact Assessment (HIA) and Equality Impact Assessment (EqIA) processes, as well as SEA, within the overarching SA process. HIA is not a statutory requirement for Councils but is good practice in plan-making; health considerations are a requirement of the SEA process and thus the overall SA process. Public bodies have a duty6 to assess the impact of their

This would necessitate discontinuing the use of Ampthill Baptist Church. The ARO was asked to consider using the Town Ampthill Methodist Church Room, Council Chamber, 66 Dunstable Street, Ampthill AMP1-4 AMP4 Ampthill (part) 887 896 Chandos Road, Ampthill MK45 2JS as a polling station but the Methodist Church Room is more convenient for voters and has parking advantages.
