Waste and Minerals Sustainability Appraisal – Scoping Report

In partnership with Brighton & Hove City Council, we asked for comments on a draft Sustainability Appraisal (SA) Scoping Report for our Waste and Minerals Core Strategy and Mineral Site Development Plan Document.

The five-week period of formal public consultation on the Sustainability Appraisal Scoping Report ended on Monday 23 April 2007.

The report and appendices, plus the comments we received and our responses can be downloaded, below.

Information in the Scoping Report has been updated, taking into account consultation comments and is presented in the SA Report of the Core Strategy Preferred Options and supporting documents.

It includes revised:

  • baseline information
  • reviewed plans, policies and programmes
  • SA framework.

The documents can be viewed on our Waste and Minerals Development Framework consultation portal website.

Scoping workshops

Workshops involving key stakeholders including community groups, waste and minerals companies and parish councils were held in Eastbourne and Hove in March 2007. They considered the sustainability issues identified in the scoping report and the appraisal process.

A summary report of the two scoping workshops describing their purpose, the process used and main findings can be downloaded below.
