Satisfied that the methodology and baseline information used to inform the scoping report appears to meet the requirements of the SEA Directive and guidance. Advise that further updates to the SA should ensure a robust assessment of the environmental effects of plan policies and allocations on statutorily designated sites and landscapes including the Orwell Estuary SPA, SSSIs and the Suffolk Coast and Heaths AONB, considering our advice and the findings of the evolving HRA. The SA will need to identify appropriate mitigation to address any adverse impacts to designated sites and landscapes and other aspects of the natural environment.
