The SEA Directive
In 2004 the UK Government ratified European
Union Directive 2001/42/EC on the assessment of the effects of
certain plans and programmes on the environment, or Strategic
Environmental Assessment (SEA) as it has become known.
The SEA Directive requires that plans and programmes should be
assessed to identify and mitigate against detrimental impacts upon
the environment. SEA is being implemented in the UK for the
planning process through Sustainability Appraisal (SA).
SA does not just assess the impact on the environment of a plan or
programme but also assesses the social and economic impacts. In
line with government guidance and regulations, Suffolk County
Council have carried out SA (incorporating SEA) on its
Minerals Development Plan Documents (MDPDs) and
Waste Development Plan Documents (WDPDs).

Monitoring
After the implementation of the MDF and WDF,
monitoring of key indicators will take place to assess the impact
of the plans. Progress relating to the DPDs will be included in
Suffolk County Council’s
Minerals and Waste Annual Monitoring Report, and will show any
changes to the plan area which have resulted from their
implementation.
