Purpose

Breckland Local Plan: Integrated Assessment

Decision

To appoint Land Use Consultants
to undertake an Integrated Assessment (IA) for the Breckland Local
Plan (Full Update).
 
The IA combines together into a
single framework different strand of assessment: Sustainability
Appraisal (SA), Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA), Health
Impact Assessment (HIA), and Equalities Impact Assessment (EIA) in
order to assess the socio-economic and environmental effects of the
Local Plan. Where negative effects are identified, measures will be
proposed to avoid, minimise or mitigate
such effects. Where any positive effects are identified, measures
will be considered that could enhance such effects. It is a
statutory part of the Plan making process.
