This IIA is based on a review and update of the IIA for the NDA Strategy (2016), bringing it into alignment with the current Strategy and the NDA Business Plan (2020-2023). Underpinning data have been updated and options revised and reassessed in line with changes to the strategy.
The final IIA Report is published alongside the NDA’s final Strategy. Feedback received during the public consultation on the NDA’s Draft Strategy was considered for the strategic topics covered by the IIA.
The Post Adoption Statement highlights how environmental, health and socio-economic considerations, the views of consultees, and the outcome of the IIA carried out for the current Strategy (as presented in the IIA Report) have been considered.
In total, 77 representations were received during the consultation on the Draft Strategy, 6 of which related directly to the IIA. Comments on the IIA covered topics including site-specific transport considerations, approach to assessment of cultural heritage, how the IIA influences the strategy, taking the opportunity to capitalise on natural assets and how the strategies can enable environmental enhancement.
The IIA was produced in accordance with requirements of the UK SEA Regulations (Statutory Instrument 1633, 2004). It comprises a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA), Health Impact Assessment (HIA) and Socio-economic Impact Assessment (SeIA).
