Fareham Local Development Framework
Sustainability Appraisal
Sustainability Appraisals will be undertaken for all Development Plan Documents and Supplementary Planning Documents to assess their economic, environmental and social impact and ensure that the policies and proposals will promote sustainable development. The sustainability appraisals will include the formal Strategic Environmental Assessment required by the European Union, and will follow the draft guidance produced by the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister entitled Sustainability Appraisal of Regional Spatial Strategies and Local Development Frameworks (this is an external hyperlink) (November 2005).
Preparation Stages of Sustainability Appraisal
Scoping Report
The first stage of Sustainability Appraisal is the preparation of a scoping report. The purpose of the Scoping Report is to identify the environmental, social and economic objectives contained in other relevant plans and strategies, provide baseline information on environmental, social and economic characteristics of the Borough, and to consider key sustainability issues facing the Borough. It will also identify sustainability objectives and indicators.

Sustainability Appraisal Report
This document will be available at the same time as the publication for consultation on draft Development Plan Documents' or the consultation on a draft Supplementary Planning Document. It reports on the likely economic, environmental and social effects of the options that have been considered during preparation of the draft Development Plan or Supplementary Planning Document, how these impacts have been taken into account and the likely effects of the Preferred Options or the proposals.
Revised Sustainability Appraisal Report
The Sustainability Appraisal Report of a Development Plan Document will be revised in light of the comments made during the Preferred Options consultation. The revised report will then be submitted to the Secretary of State for examination alongside the Submission DPD.
