Sustainability Appraisals

Sustainability Appraisals (incorporating Strategic Environmental Assessment)

Sustainability Appraisals have been undertaken at key stages in the preparation of the Core Strategy. These have been carried out by consultants C4S at the Transport Research Laboratory (TRL), assisted by Halcrow. We have used these independent sustainability appraisals to help inform the development of the Core Strategy.
