Introduction
Methods for Determining Alternatives
Methods for Assessing the Alternatives
Alternative 1 'Economy' is firstly defined and assessed. This includes an overview of the alternative, a summary of views on the theme arising from the early consultation, a clear statement of the components and assumptions underlying the alternative, a populated assessment summary framework, an outline of key findings, and a concluding summary.
Alternative 2 'Sustainability' is subsequently defined and assessed using the same structure.
Alternative 3 'Communities' is defined and assessed.
Alternative 4 'Connectivity' is defined and assessed.
Alternative 5 'Business as usual' is defined and assessed.
Key Findings for Further Discussion
Conclusions - Responding to this Discussion Paper
This paper has been prepared with a view to sharing the early findings of the assessment with a wider audience, and reflects work in progress. It is not intended as a final output in its own right - but is a tool for use in this part of the SEA.
Any comments from stakeholders and the wider public would therefore be most welcome.
