Stage 2 SEA Screening Analysis has been carried out to determine whether a P/P is likely to have significant effects on the environment and whether SEA must be carried out in conjunction with a P/P. This analysis is presented in Table 4-4 and Table 4-5. Table 4-4: Criteria for Determining the Likely Significance of Environmental Effects – Characteristics of the Strategy Potential Significant Effects Characteristics of the plan or programme having regard, in particular to:
The degree to which the plan or programme sets a framework for projects and other activities, either with regard to the location, nature, size and operating conditions or by allocating resources
The Strategy modifications do not set out a development control-related framework for projects or activities, either with regard to the location, nature, size and operating conditions or by allocating resources. The Strategy modifications will not result in the occurrence of any significant environmental effects in this regard. The Strategy is a low-level plan which aligns with the ambitions of the national Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Strategy 2022-2025 and the national Climate Action Plan 2023. The Strategy modifications will not influence these plans and will not result in the occurrence of additional, likely significant environmental effects not already considered and mitigated against under the SEA and AA processes.
The degree to which the plan or programme influences other plans and programmes including those in a hierarchy
