Sustainability Appraisal of the Core Strategy Publication Document

The Sustainability Appraisal Report (SA) assesses the environmental, economic and social implications of the policies of the Draft Core Strategy for Woking Borough. It enables an objective assessment of each policy or proposal and the contribution it makes towards sustainable development. It also enables weaknesses in the Core Strategy Publication Document to be identified and appropriate mitigation measures to be introduced to make them as sustainable asthey can possibly be.

The SA Report is a requirement of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004. The Report also encompasses the requirements of the European Union Directive 2001/42/EC (SEA Directive).

The SA has been carried out as an integral part of the Core Strategy process and it will form an important evidence base to demonstrate that sustainable development is at the heart of the Core Strategy and has influenced key decisions at each stage of its process.
