Sustainability Appraisal and Strategic Environmental Assessment

 

To ensure that the JAAP contributes to sustainable development as far as possible, the JAAP has been subject to a Sustainability Appraisal and Strategic Environmental Assessment (SA/SEA).  

 

The Sustainability Appraisal process was started at the same time as preparation of the West and North West of Crawley Joint Area Action Plan began. The assessment process has been led by the Senior Environmental Officer based in the Strategic and Community Planning Department at Horsham District Council, and a Planning Officer with responsibility for SA/SEA from the Forward Planning Section at Crawley Borough Council. The process has however drawn on technical information and expertise from other members of the two planning departments, and from a number of external organisations.
