    Strategic Environmental Assessment

    East Dunbartonshire Council recognises that our activities have the potential to significantly affect the environment in both a positive and negative ways.

    The Environmental Assessment (Scotland) Act 2005, which came into force in February 2006, requires all policies, plans, programmes, strategies and master plans produced by responsible authorities to be assessed for their potential environmental impacts and all Councils should adhere to the statutory requirements of the Act. This process is called Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA).

    The SEA process should:

    • Be incorporated early enough in the development of a policy or plan to ensure that all negative environmental impacts identified can be avoided or reduced, and the positive impacts identified can be further enhanced.
    • Raise awareness of environmental considerations within the decision-making processes of the Council and also play a role in promoting sustainable development.
    • Provide opportunities for the Council to be completely open and transparent in the decision-making process. This is achieved by ensuring that expertise and views are considered through various stages of consultation with the consultation authorities and the public, giving the public more involvement in their local environment and community.

    Further information on Strategic Environmental Assessment can be found on the SEA pages on the Scottish Government website.
