The Integrated Assessment (IA) is an assessment of the impacts of the Local Plan on environmental, economic and social objectives and forms one of the supporting documents to the Local Plan review.
In recognition that there will be linkages across the various assessments undertaken on the Local Plan, the Sustainability Appraisal, Strategic Environmental Assessment, Equalities Impact Assessment, Health Impact Assessment and Habitats Regulations Assessment all form part of the 'Integrated Assessment'.
The IA identifies any necessary mitigation and / or enhancements required to the Draft Local Plan as the plan is prepared.
