Sustainability Appraisal

A Sustainability Appraisal (SA) is a key component in the preparation of a development plan document. Its purpose is to assess the wider social, environmental and economic impact of plans and their policies.

For the Civic Quarter Area Action Plan, the process of SA was combined with an assessment of impacts upon health and equality. This collective assessment, which was repeated and revisited as the CQAAP was progressed, was referred to as an Integrated Assessment. Documents relating to the Integrated Assessment for the CQAAP can be accessed below.
