The Earls Barton Neighbourhood Plan has been formally determined in relation to the Need for Strategic Environmental Assessment under Regulation 9 of the Environmental Assessment of Plans and Programmes Regulations 2004 on 8 June 2015.

 

It is determined that the Earls Barton Neighbourhood Plan is unlikely to have significant environmental effects.

 

The determination has taken into account regulation 9 (2) (a) by considering the criteria specified in Schedule 1 to the above regulations and 9 (2) (b) which relates to the consultation bodies of Natural England, the Environment Agency and English Heritage and has taken into account their responses in this determination. In accordance with regulation 9 (3) given that the determination is unlikely to have significant environmental effects (and accordingly, does not require an environmental assessment), a statement of reasons for the determination has been prepared.
