The SA Report presents the findings for the Regulation 18 version of the Local Plan relating specifically to the appraisal of overall spatial strategy options, quantum of growth options, large site options, small site options and growth scenario options. The report is presented alongside the Interim SA Report for the Regulation 18 Local Plan which details the SA findings for the policies in the Regulation 18 Local Plan. Together with the Interim SA Report for the Regulation 18 Local Plan this SA Report forms the Environmental Report for this stage of the plan-making process. These two SA Reports should be read together in conjunction with the Regulation 18 Local Plan itself. Horsham District Local Plan Horsham District Council adopted its current Local Plan, the Horsham District Planning Framework (HDPF), in November 2015, which set out the planning strategy for the District up to 2031. It should be noted that the policies in this document and those which are to be contained in the Local Plan Review document do not apply to land in the South Downs National Park. The planning needs for the National Park area are set out in the South Downs Local Plan1 as adopted in July 2019. In line with Government guidance, which state that local authorities should review their Local Plans every five years, the Council has now started the process of reviewing the adopted Local Plan. The Inspector who undertook the independent examination of the adopted Local Plan concluded that further work would be needed by the Council to identify future accommodation needs, including Gypsies and Travellers and to ensure that sufficient land is made available to meet the needs of businesses and to support economic growth. He also indicated that a review of the plan should commence within three years of the current Local Plan’s ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1 South Downs National Park Authority (July 2019) South Downs Local Plan LUC I 1 Chapter 1 Introduction SA of Growth Options February 2020 adoption to ensure that wider long term needs in the District impacts.

Sustainability Appraisal and Strategic Environmental Assessment The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 requires Local Plans to be subject to SA. SA is designed to ensure that the plan preparation process maximises the contribution that a plan makes to sustainable development and minimises any potential adverse impacts. The SA process involves appraising the likely social, environmental and economic effects of the policies and proposals within a plan from the outset of its development. SEA is also a statutory assessment process, required under the SEA Directive2, transposed in the UK by the SEA Regulations3. The SEA Regulations require the formal assessment of plans and programmes which are likely to have significant effects on the environment and which set the framework for future consent of projects requiring Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)4. The purpose of SEA, as defined in Article 1 of the SEA Directive, is: “to provide for a high level of protection of the environment and to contribute to the integration of environmental considerations into the preparation and adoption of plans…with a view to promoting sustainable development”. SEA and SA are separate processes but have similar aims and objectives. Simply put, SEA focuses on the likely environmental effects of a plan whilst SA includes a wider range of considerations, extending to social and economic ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2 The Environmental Assessment of Plans and Programmes Regulations 2004 3 Statutory Instrument 2004, No 1633, The Environmental Assessment of Plans (SI 2004/1633), as amended by The Environmental Assessments and and Programmes Regulations 2004.

  • Storrington, Sullington and Washington Neighbourhood Plan
    Storrington, Sullington and Washington WASHINGTON PARISH COUNCIL Neighbourhood Plan Dear Sirs Storrington, Sullington & Washington Neighbourhood Plan: Sustainability Appraisal/Strategic Environmental Assessment Scoping Letter I set out below for your attention the proposed scope of the Sustainability Appraisal/Strategic Environmental Assessment (SA/SEA) to accompany the forthcoming Storrington, Sullington & Washington Neighbourhood Plan (SSWNP). This letter and its appendices should be regarded as the Scoping Report of the SSWNP in accordance with Stage A of the provisions of the Environmental Assessment of Plans & Programmes Regulations 2004 (which implement EU Directive 2001/42). As a statutory consultee in the Regulations you are invited to comment on this report and I would be grateful for your comment by 26th September 2014. Background The SSWNP is being prepared by the Storrington & Sullington Parish Council and Washington Parish Council as qualifying bodies under the 2012 Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations. In accordance with the 2004 Regulations 2004, the local planning authority, Horsham District Council, issued its formal screening opinion on 20 May 2014, concluding that an SEA is required and that it would prefer this is undertaken as part of a wider Sustainability Appraisal (SA/SEA). In its decision, the District Council has not made its reasons explicit for reaching this conclusion, but it is understood that the likely intention of the SSWNP to contain policies allocating land for development is the primary reason. A third of the designated area lies within the South Downs National Park and there are no European sites within the area, although the area does lie within the 15km buffer zone of the Arundel Valley SAC/SPA/Ramsar site.
