Appears that environmental, social and economic effects of plan(s) are inadequately/ inaccurately
assessed against HRA and the SA. The SEA Directive requires that assessment include identification of cumulative and synergistic effects, including other neighbouring local authorities. The SA does not appear to take account of the cumulative effect of CSs Plans of neighbouring authorities with regard to housing, employment and especially transport/traffic and increased air pollution and traffic congestion. Needs to fully assess the implications on building on HDL and whether delivering more homes in the town centre instead of retail expansion might be a more sustainable option.
