Introduction 1.1.1 Section 35 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 (as amended by section 113 of the Localism Act 2011) sets the formal requirement that each Local Planning Authority (LPA) must prepare a Monitoring Report (AMR). Whilst Local Planning Authorities no longer need to monitor National Core Indicators set by the former Audit Commission, monitoring reports should, as stated in the Localism Act 2011, contain as a minimum; i. progress on the production of the Council’s Local Plan against the Council’s published timetable (the Local Development Scheme) and, ii. the extent to which policies set out in their Local Development Documents are being achieved 1.1.2 The detailed requirements for what a Local Planning Authority’s AMR must cover is provided in Section 34 of the Town and Country Planning (Local Development) (England) Regulations 2012. 1.1.3 Monitoring reports must also comply with EU Legislation as set out in EU Directive 2001/42/EC which stipulates that Strategic Environmental Assessments (SEAs) are undertaken on plans and programmes to assess their environmental effects. 1.1.4 In the U.K, Sustainability Appraisals (SA) incorporate the requirements of the Environmental Assessment of Plans and Programmes Regulations 2004 (commonly referred to as the ‘Strategic Environmental Assessment Regulations’), which implement the requirements of the European Directive 2001/42/EC. 1.1.5 The Directive requires that monitoring arrangements must be established to allow the actual significant effects of the adopted Local Plan to be tested against those predicted, and to enable appropriate remedial action to be taken if required. 1.1.6 The monitoring of the SA must cover all significant environmental effects as well as social and economic effects providing important feedback on the success and progress of policies in the plan and progress towards delivering sustainable development. 6 | Page 2.

  • Tilbury to Southend-On-Sea Nature Conservation Assessment
    Nature Conservation Assessment for Coastal Access Proposals between Tilbury and Southend- on-Sea Assessment of Coastal Access Proposals between Tilbury and Southend-on-Sea on sites and features of nature conservation concern Thursday 27th February 2020 (Sanderling wintering in Southend-on-Sea – Darren Braine) Page 1 Nature Conservation Assessment for Coastal Access Proposals between Tilbury and Southend- on-Sea About this document This document should be read in conjunction with the published Reports for the Tilbury to Southend-on-Sea Stretch and the Habitats Regulations Assessment (HRA) for: Special Protection Areas (SPAs): - Thames Estuary and Marshes SPA - Benfleet and Southend Marshes SPA - Outer Thames Estuary SPA Ramsar Sites: - Thames Estuary and Marshes Ramsar - Benfleet and Southend Marshes Ramsar The Coastal Access Reports contain a full description of the access proposals, including any additional mitigation measures that have been included. These Reports can be viewed here: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/england-coast-path-tilbury-to-southend-on-sea A HRA is required for European sites (SPA and Ramsar sites). The HRA is published alongside the Coastal Access Reports. This document, the Nature Conservation Assessment (NCA), covers all other aspects (including SSSIs, MCZs and undesignated but locally important sites and features) in so far as any HRA does not already address the issue for the sites and features in question. The NCA is arranged site by site. Maps 1 to 3 shows designated sites along this stretch of coast. See Annex 1 for an index to designated sites and their notified features for this stretch of coast. This also identifies features that have been considered within any HRA, due to the overlap of notified interests.

  • Basildon District Nature Conservation Guide 2005
    NATURE CONSERVATION REFERENCE GUIDE FOR BASILDON DISTRICT A Review of Wildlife Sites ESSEX ECOLOGY SERVICES LTD. IMPORTANT NOTES Nomenclature The term "Site of Importance for Nature Conservation" (SINC) used in previous reports is here replaced by the currently generally accepted term of “Wildlife Site”. Rationale It is hoped that this identification of important Wildlife Sites is not seen as a hindrance to the livelihood of those landowners affected, or an attempt to blindly influence the management of such sites. It is an attempt to describe the wildlife resource we have in the county as a whole, which has been preserved thus far as a result of the management by landowners and together we hope to be able to help landowners retain and enhance this biodiversity for the future. Public Access Identification as a Wildlife Site within this report does not confer any right of public access to the site, above and beyond any Public Rights of Way that may exist. The vast majority of the Sites are in private ownership and this should be respected at all times. Land Ownership It has always been the intention of the Essex Wildlife Trust to contact all landowners of Wildlife Sites, advising them of this identification and promoting nature conservation management of the site. To that end, the Essex Wildlife Trust has just appointed a Wildlife Sites Officer. While this lengthy undertaking is in progress it is requested that the Essex Wildlife Trust is contacted prior to any formal approach regarding any Site identified within this report. Boundaries Whilst every attempt has been made to ensure accurate mapping of the site boundaries, the accompanying maps should be considered as being illustrative only.
