Chief Executive’s Response & Recommendation
Future Amendments to the Plan You should screen any future amendments to the Plan for likely significant effects, using the same method of assessment applied in the “environmental assessment” of the Plan. SEA Statement – “Information on the Decision” Once the Plan is adopted, you should prepare an SEA Statement that summarises: • How environmental considerations have been integrated into the Plan; • How the Environmental Report, submissions, observations and consultations have been taken into account during the preparation of the Plan; • The reasons for choosing the Plan adopted in the light of other reasonable alternatives dealt with; and, • The measures decided upon to monitor the significant environmental effects of implementation of the Plan. You should send a copy of the SEA Statement with the above information to any environmental authority consulted during the SEA process. Guidance on preparing SEA Statements is available on the EPA website at the following link:
Proposed material alterations will be screened using a method similar to that used for the Plan. Recommendation: No change.
An SEA Statement containing the required information will be prepared at the end of the process. The cited guidance will be taken into account in preparing
the SEA Statement. Recommendation: No change.
