SEA and AA Stages and Key Deliverables

3.2 Overview of the Strategy and SEA Processes Given the nature of the Strategy, significant environmental effects were likely (in the absence of appropriate environmental mitigation), and therefore SEA was 'screened in' in this instance. The SEA followed elements of Integrated Biodiversity Impact Assessment 7 . In this instance, AA Screening concluded that the Strategy is not likely to have any significant effects on European sites, alone or in combination with other plans or projects, however. Consequently, a Stage 2 AA was not required for the Strategy. The AA Screening Report has suitably informed the preparation of this SEA Environmental Report.

7 As detailed in the EPA’s 2013 Integrated Biodiversity Impact Assessment - Streamlining AA, SEA and EIA Processes: Practitioner’s Manual.
