Sustainability Appraisal / Strategic Environmental Assessment
Sustainability Appraisal (SA) is a process which examines the social, environmental and economic effects of the strategies and policies in a local development document to ensure that the decisions that are made accord with sustainable development. SA incorporates the requirements of the Strategic Environmental Assessment Directive (EU Directive 2001/42/EC), which ensures that environmental effects of strategies and policies are also carefully assessed.
Development Management and Delivery DPD
Dartmoor National Park Authority is preparing a development plan document (DPD) called the Development Management and Delivery Development Plan Document (DMD) setting out topic related development management policies to guide spatial development in Dartmoor National Park in the period up to 2026.
The scoping report below is the first stage in the preparation of the sustainability appraisal report that underpins the production of the development plan document. It highlights a range of sustainability factors which need to be considered in preparing the DMD and provides a way in which different options can be tested.
