Strategic Environmental Assessment

Burton Overy Parish Neighbourhood Forum asked the LPA to screen the Burton Overy NDP for requirement for a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA). A screening report was provided in January 2018 for the pre submission version of the Plan. Statutory Consultees were asked for their comments . Natural England, Historic England and the Environment Agency confirmed that they did not consider a full SEA was required for the Plan.
