Under the Environment Act 2005, that transposes Directive 2001/42/EC on the assessment of the effects of certain plans and programs on the environment (SEA Directive) it is a requirement, having prepared an Environmental Report, to make available a Post Adoption SEA Statement. In essence this statement explains:

  • How the Environmental Report has been taken into account;
  • How any opinions expressed as a result of the consultation on the Draft Plan and Draft Environmental Report have been taken into account;
  • The reasons for choosing the plan as adopted, in the light of the other reasonable alternatives dealt with; and
