SEA and HRA Screening Decision
In some circumstances neighbourhood plans may require environmental assessments in line with European obligations. These environmental assessments are a Strategic Environment Assessment (SEA) and a Habitats Regulation Assessment (HRA).
Winkfield Parish Council provided information on the scope of their neighbourhood plan to Bracknell Forest Council to determine whether a SEA or HRA is required. This is known as ‘screening’.
Bracknell Forest Council’s screening decision was subject to a consultation with Historic England, Natural England and the Environment Agency.
The screening decision concludes that the Winkfield Neighbourhood Plan requires an SEA and an Appropriate Assessment.
