Shropshire Local Plan review - sustainability appraisal scoping

Proposal

We are now undertaking a partial review of the adopted Local Plan (the Local Plan Review). In time this will replace the Core Strategy and SAMDev and become the adopted Local Plan for the period 2016-2036. All Local Plan documents must be subjected to a Sustainability Appraisal.

This is the consultation draft for the scoping stage of the Sustainability Appraisal. The Sustainability Framework set out in this document will be used for the Sustainability Appraisal of the Shropshire Local Plan Review documents.

The sustainability appraisal process seeks to ensure that sustainable development principles are fully integrated into the preparation of planning policy documents. It is an iterative process, appraising emerging options against the three sustainability elements of social, environmental and economic. It assists in selecting the most sustainable policy and site allocation options and suggests mitigation where significant negative effects cannot be avoided.
