Environmental appraisal of SPD
SPDs are now subject to environmental appraisal. Examples of
such appraisals can be found in draft SPDs for Maidstone Borough,
the London Borough of Camden and Bristol City Council. See also
draft Government advice on ‘Sustainability Appraisal of Regional
Spatial Strategies and Local Development Frameworks’ [ODPM,
2004].
The purpose of Sustainability Appraisal is to promote
sustainable development through the integration of social,
environmental and economic considerations into the preparation of
revisions of Regional Spatial Strategies (RSS) and for new or
revised Development Plan Documents (DPD) and Supplementary Planning
Documents (SPD). PPS 12: Local Development Frameworks states that
‘Sustainability Appraisals (SA) will play an important part in
demonstrating if the development plan document is sound by ensuring
that it reflects sustainability objectives. The results of the
sustainability appraisal will contribute to the reasoned
justification of policies. The SPD preparation process is set out
in this document - Incorporating
SA within the SPD process - and shows the relationship between
the SPD preparation process and the SA stages.
