Strategic Environmental Assessment

Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) became a legal requirement for public sector plans and programmes (also strategies in Scotland) with the implementation of the European Directive in 2004.

Since January 2004 we have successfully completed over 50 SEAs across a range of sectors, including:

Transport;
Land use planning;
Energy;
Marine planning;
River Basin Management Planning;
Coastal and flood management; and
Water resources management.

Recent examples of SEAs undertaken by Faber Maunsell include:

Faber Maunsell’s SEA experience is underpinned by our technical expertise and experience in carrying out more detailed project level assessments such as EIA and Appropriate Assessment. We have ones of the UK’s most experienced SEA teams and can assist public and private sector organisations in achieving improved plan-making and environmental protection by meeting their legal obligations under SEA legislation.

In addition to SEA, Faber Maunsell also has extensive experience and capability in carrying out Sustainability Appraisals (SAs) of Local Development Documents (LDDs) prepared by a number of local authorities. These include Core Strategies, Development Plan Documents, SPDs and Area Action Plans.
