Wiltshire Sustainability Appraisal Report October 2009
The event is not currently available for consultation.
While the Wiltshire 2026 - Planning for Wiltshire's Future is not a draft core strategy, it is an important step towards the development of the Wiltshire Core Strategy. As part of the process of producing a core strategy, UK and European legislation requires that an assessment is undertaken to test if the emerging Core Strategy will deliver sustainable development. These processes are referred to as Sustainability Appraisal (SA) and Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA). However, they are usually know simply as 'SA'.
The Sustainability Appraisal Report has been prepared to demonstrate how the assessment required by SA is being undertaken. The report sets out how the assessment is being conducted and what effect this is having on the production of the emerging Wiltshire Core Strategy. This work will be updated and further versions of this report will be published at each stage of developing the core strategy.
Wiltshire Council would therefore welcome your response to this document. Please submit your views to the council by 5:00pm on 31 December 2009.
