Abstract

Following the European SEA Directive, Sustainability Appraisals (SA) (incorporating Strategic Environmental Assessment - SEA) form an essential part of the development of many regional and district wide plans as well as small area action plans. SA/SEA exercises present a useful mechanism through which more sustainable and environmentally conscious patterns of development can be promoted.
