We have been commissioned by The Leicester and Leicestershire Councils and the Local Enterprise Partnership to prepare a Sustainability Appraisal/Strategic Environmental Assessment (SA/SEA) and Habitat Regulations Assessment (HRA) for the Leicester and Leicestershire Strategic Growth Plan. 1.1.2 The Strategic Growth Plan will set out a broad framework for development across the whole of the County of Leicestershire, and the City of Leicester, focusing on the period up to 2050. Local Plans will be the primary delivery mechanism for the Strategic Growth Plan (‘the Plan’), and this is where the key decisions will be made about the specific development opportunities that will help to deliver the Plan. 1.1.3 The SA/SEA will need to assess and influence the key elements of the Plan including: • Scale of growth for housing and employment land; • Spatial distribution of growth; • Major infrastructure requirements; and • Environmental protection. 1.1.4 This document is an SA Report that describes the processes that have been undertaken so far as part of the SA/SEA Process. 1.2 Summary of the SEA/SA process 1.2.1 Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) is a statutory process that must be carried out when a plan, policy or programme is considered likely to have significant effects on the environment. In the case of the Strategic Growth Plan (which sets the framework for future Local Plans) an SEA is determined to be necessary. However, to ensure that social and economic factors are also taken into consideration, it has been considered beneficial to undertake a sustainability appraisal (SA), which covers a wider range of factors including social and economic factors. 1.2.2 Sustainability Appraisal (SA) is a process for helping to ensure that plans, policies and programmes achieve an appropriate balance between environmental, economic and social objectives. The process that is followed incorporates the requirements of an SEA. 1 | Page Leicester and Leicestershire draft Strategic Growth Plan: SA Report 1.2.3 SA should help to identify the sustainability implications of different plan approaches and recommend ways to reduce any negative effects and to increase the positive outcomes. 1.2.4 SA is also a tool for communicating the likely effects of a Plan (and any reasonable alternatives), explaining the decisions taken with regards to the approach decided upon, and encouraging engagement from key stakeholders such as local communities, businesses and plan-makers. 1.2.5 Although SA can be applied flexibly, it contains legal requirements under the ‘Environmental Assessment of Plans and Programmes Regulations 2004’ (which were prepared in order to transpose into national law the EU Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) Directive). The regulations set out prescribed processes that must be followed. In particular the Regulations require that a report is published for consultation alongside the draft plan that ‘identifies, describes and evaluates’ the likely significant effects of implementing ‘the plan, and reasonable alternatives’. The SA/SEA report must then be taken into account, alongside consultation responses when finalising the plan. 1.2.6 Though the Strategic Growth Plan is not a statutory document, it has the potential to have significant effects upon the environment, communities and economy. Therefore, it is considered necessary and beneficial to undertake a sustainability appraisal that meets the requirements of the SEA Regulations. 1.2.7 SA/SEA can be viewed as a four-stage process that produces a number of statutory and non-statutory outputs. As illustrated in Figure 1.1 below, ‘Scoping’ is a mandatory process under the SEA Directive, but the publication of a scoping report is a voluntary (but useful) output.

LE11 3PR (01509-214711) IVY Hedera helix - A PLANT FOR ALL SEASONS Ivy, our only evergreen native climbing plant, is well known to butterfly enthusiasts as being the second generation food plant of the Holly Blue larvae but I suspect far fewer appreciate its importance to large numbers of moth species such as The Chestnut, Dark Chestnut, Dark Sword-grass, Tawny Pinion, Green-brindled Crescent, The Satellite and Red-line Quaker. It is also one of two main larval food plants of an attractive little geometer moth, the Yellow-barred Brindle, whose other main food plant is the Holly - like the Holly Blue! Ivy also provides important winter hibernating cover for The Brimstone, The Peacock and numerous other insect species. It gives protection to hibernating insects and roosting birds in the worst of the winter's weather when the countryside becomes a wind-swept, hostile place to all living organisms and when decent shelter can make all the difference between life and death to creatures fighting to stay alive and doing their best to avoid being blown into oblivion!
