Local Plan Sustainability Appraisal

Tender description

Southampton City Council (SCC) is currently preparing a new 'City Vision Local Plan' which will plan for Southampton's continuing growth over the next 20 years. The plan will ensure that we can deliver all of the new homes, workspaces, transport, retail, leisure facilities and infrastructure the city needs, whilst promoting sustainable growth and protection and enhancement of our natural and historic environment. As part of the plan preparation process, SCC is required to produce a Sustainability Appraisal (SA) of the Local Plan proposals and conduct a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) in accordance with the relevant European Directive. Southampton City Council are therefore seeking to appoint a suitably qualified consultant to prepare a Sustainability Appraisal, which incorporates the requirements of the SEA Directive, for the new City Vision Local Plan.
