Appendix A: Regulatory Requirements SA Report to accompany Pre-Submission consultation: Appendices Appendix A: Regulatory requirements As discussed in Chapter 1 above, Schedule 2 of the Environmental Assessment of Plans Regulations 2004 explains the information that must be contained in the SA Report; however, interpretation of Schedule 2 is not straightforward. Table A1 links the structure of this report to an interpretation of Schedule 2 requirements, whilst Table A2 explains this interpretation. Table A1: Questions answered by the SA Report, in accordance with an interpretation of regulatory requirements Questions answered As per the regulations…the SA Report must include… An outline of the contents, main objectives of the plan What’s the plan seeking to achieve? and relationship with other relevant plans and programmes Relevant environmental protection objectives, What’s the sustainability established at international or national level ‘context’? Any existing environmental problems which are relevant to the plan including those relating to any areas of a particular environmental importance Relevant aspects of the current state of the environment and the likely evolution thereof without implementation of the plan What’s the SA What’s the sustainability Introduction The environmental characteristics of areas likely to be scope? ‘baseline’? significantly affected Any existing environmental problems which are relevant to the plan including those relating to any areas of a particular environmental importance What are the key issues Key environmental problems / issues and objectives and objectives that that should be a focus of (i.e. provide a ‘framework’ should be a focus? for) assessment Outline reasons for selecting the alternatives dealt with (and thus an explanation of the ‘reasonableness’ of the approach) The likely significant effects associated with What has plan-making / SA involved up to this Part 1 alternatives point? Outline reasons for selecting the preferred approach in-light of alternatives assessment / a description of how environmental objectives and considerations are reflected in the Draft Plan The likely significant effects associated with the Draft Plan Part 2 What are the SA findings at this current stage? The measures envisaged to prevent, reduce and offset any significant adverse effects of implementing the Draft Plan Part 3 What happens next? A description of the monitoring measures envisaged Table A2: Questions answered by the SA Report, in accordance with regulatory requirements A1 SA Report to accompany Pre-Submission consultation: Appendices A2 SA Report to accompany Pre-Submission consultation: Appendices Whilst Tables A1 and A2 signpost broadly how/where this report presents the information required of the SA Report by the Regulations, as a supplement it is also helpful to present a discussion of more precisely how/where regulatory requirements are met - see Table A3. Table A3: ‘Checklist’ of how (throughout the SA process) and where (within this report) regulatory requirements have been, are and will be met. Regulatory requirement Discussion of how requirement is met Schedule 2 of the regulations lists the information to be provided within the SA Report 1.

With regards to explaining “how… considerations have been taken into account” - Chapters 3 explains how reasonable alternatives were established in 2014/15 in-light of earlier consultation/SA. Chapter 3 sets out the summary findings of the appraisal of the reasonable alternatives, with the detailed appraisal provided in Appendix C. Chapter 3 explains the SDNPA’s ‘reasons for supporting the preferred approach’, i.e. explains how/why the preferred approach is justified in- light of alternatives appraisal (and other factors).
