Why we consulted
Under the Habitats Regulations, the Council is required to assess whether the Local Development Plan 2018–2023 is likely to have a significant effect on the integrity of any European Site. This mandatory process is known as a Habitats Regulations Assessment (HRA), and it is undertaken throughout the preparation of the rLDP.
This latest consultation features the HRA for the Matters Arising Changes which ensures procedural compliance in line with the relevant legislation. The entirety of the ISA process can be found on our website.
It is comprised of:
- HRA Screening Report (December 2018)
- HRA Report (January 2020)
- HRA Addendum (February 2023)
- HRA 2nd Addendum (February 2024)
- HRA Additional Sites Addendum (March 2025)
