Sustainability Appraisal
A Sustainability Appraisal Framework was adopted in April 2006. It sets out 18 sustainability objectives and a list of indicators for each. Torridge has slightly different sustainability objectives and indicators. It is proposed to merge these two lists, rationalise the number of indicators and use indicators for which baseline information and published data are readily available.
The draft combined Sustainability Appraisal Framework is published for consultation. It will be needed for the Sustainability Appraisal required for later stages in the preparation of the Core Strategy. You are invited to comment on the draft Sustainability Appraisal Framework. Your comments should arrive no later than 5pm on Thursday 20 December 2007.
