The Initial SA report of the Core Strategy ‘Shaping Places and Spaces’: Issues & Options consultation documents has been prepared by Craven District Council for public consultation between June and July 2006. The review has covered the Vision, Strategic Objectives & Settlements Strategy, Housing Strategy & Distribution, Economic Strategy & Distribution, Environment & Design and Transport.
The appraisal of issues and options has examined the performance of various courses of action in terms of their sustainability and reports on the findings. This is an iterative process whereby the findings of the SEA/SA may be fed into future decisions on policy development. It should be noted that the SEA/SA can only give a considered view of the relative sustainability of each option; it is the role of the plan makers, informed through public consultation, to determine which options they wish to carry forward.
