appendix D 2.3 The Strategic Environmental Assessment process The requirement for SEA comes from the Environmental Assessment (Scotland) Act 2005. The purpose of SEA is to ensure that information on the environmental effects of a plan or programme is gathered and made available to plan-makers and decision takers as it is prepared and implemented. In light of this an environmental assessment has been undertaken of the Antonine Wall WHS Management Plan 2013-18 (the Plan). This report documents and presents the findings of our assessment. Under section 5(3) of the above Act, plans, programmes and strategies with the potential to have significant environmental effects are to be subject to environmental assessment prior to adoption. As part of the SEA process, the environmental assessment was ‘scoped’ and SNH and SEPA were consulted on the proposed scope and level of detail of the assessment. In general, both SEPA and SNH were content to agree with approach to the scope of the assessment. In the scoping report we specifically requested SEPA’s views on the scope of the assessment in relation to the consideration of effects on air, soil and water as part of the assessment. We welcome the views offered by SEPA on this and in view of these we have scoped these topics out of the assessment. Further details on this are documented within section 4 of this Environmental Report. Following on from the scoping stage, we undertook an environmental assessment of the vision, long-term aims and medium term objectives of the Plan. This report presents the results of that environmental assessment, sets out the measures proposed to mitigate the potentially adverse effects of the Plan and provides further detail regarding our intentions for the monitoring of those effects. Following the closing date, all responses will be analysed and considered along with any other available evidence. We will finalise the Management Plan and prepare an SEA Post-Adoption statement which, amongst other things, will summarise the representations received during the consultation process. We aim to finalise the Plan and SEA Statement within the next few months at which point it will become available through the Historic Scotland website: www.historic-scotland.gov.uk 3. Context 3.1 Other plans, programmes, strategies and environmental objectives One of the early stages of the SEA process is to consider the relationship of the Plan to other relevant policies, plans, strategies and environmental objectives. This allows key environmental protection objectives to be identified for consideration during the plan preparation process. It is also important to identify both the plans and strategies that will influence the Management Plan and those that will be influenced by it. An understanding of the context and the hierarchy that the Management Plan sits within is also useful for giving early thought to mitigation measures and where they may be best implemented. The key environmental objectives identified from the review of legislation, policies, plans and strategies are illustrated here: The Environmental Report accompanies the Consultation Document for a twelve-week period of public consultation which will run until 28 June 2013. The Response Form that accompanies the Consultation Document provides details of how to make comments on the Consultation Document and the Environmental Report and will help to structure your response. 48
