    Sustainability Appraisal (SA)/Strategic Environment Assessment (SEA) Scoping Report Merton Council Estates Plan September 2014 Contacts and further information Further information on the SA/SEA of the Estates Local Plan on Merton’s website: Insert link here or: London Borough of Merton Future Merton,12TH Floor Civic Centre London Road SM4 5DX [email protected] Telephone : 020 8545 3693 1 1 Introduction 1.1 This Scoping Report is the first stage of a Sustainability Appraisal (SA), which incorporates the requirements for a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) for the Estates Plan (herein referred to as ‘the Plan’), part of Merton’s Local Plan. 2 Purpose of Sustainability Appraisal and Strategic Environment Assessment (SEA) 2.1 The EU Strategic Environmental Assessment Directive 2001/42/EC (SEA Directive), implemented in the UK by the SEA Regulations 2004, requires environmental assessment to be undertaken on all plans and programmes where they are likely to have significant environmental impacts. 2.2 The purpose of Sustainability Appraisal (incorporating SEA) is to promote sustainable development by integrating social, economic, and environmental considerations into the preparation of new or revised plans and strategies. It is imperative to commence SEA at the early stages of plan making to identify the key sustainability issues likely affected by the implementation of the plan; it assists with creating development options and assesses any significant effects of the proposed development. SA/SEA’s are an important tool for developing sound planning policies and planning development plans which are consistent with the Government’s sustainable development agenda and achieving the aspirations of local communities.
