Why you should attend this masterclass
The European Directive 2001/42/EC on the assessment of the effects of certain plans and programmes on the environment and the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 respectively, require strategic environmental assessment (SEA) and sustainability appraisal (SA). SA applies to Local Development Frameworks and Regional Spatial Strategies, SEA applies to these, plus local transport plans, waste and minerals plans, and a wide range of other plans and programmes. This masterclass explains how to fulfil these legal requirements, and how to use the SEA/SA processes to help improve plans.
Who should attend?
- Planners (land use, transport, minerals, waste, etc.) – how do I do it?
- Planning consultants – how to support planners in doing it?
- Sustainability/LA 21 officers – how do I ensure that sustainability is fully integrated?
