Objectives
Nottinghamshire Joint Sustainability Appraisal Partnership
The main objective of the joint approach to Sustainability
Appraisal is to simplify the process of collecting baseline information for the
SA Scoping Report. The remit of the partnership is focused on stages A1 (a
review of relevant Plans, Policies and Programmes)
and A2 (the collection of baseline data) of the SA process.
Other objectives of the partnership relate to how the Partnership operates.
The three key outcomes of the partnership are the SA Scoping Report Template, the
reviews of relevant Plans, Policies and Programmes,
and the table of baseline indicators. A separate ‘How to’ document contains
help and step by step instructions to how to use the SA tools available from
nomad+.
Other objectives for the partnership are to:
- Create a comprehensive
and up-to date on-line library of documents and data appropriate for use
in Sustainability Appraisals.
- Ensure all partners
have the opportunity to collaborate on the decision about resources held
in the library.
- Reduce duplication of
effort in sourcing resources.
- Provide a simple
method for partners to submit resources to NOMAD+ and maintain the
associated metadata for their own resources.
- Facilitate a
Nottinghamshire Sustainability Appraisal Working Group to share best
practice on carrying out Sustainability Appraisals and provide a forum to
discuss issues and problems encountered.
- Ensure all members of
the Sustainability Appraisal Working Group partners are consulted about
the development of the functionality of NOMAD+ in relation to
Sustainability Appraisal.
- Provide relevant
training to enable partners obtain maximum benefit from NOMAD+ when
carrying out Sustainability Appraisals.
- Provide guidance and
support for the maintenance of quality geographic data.
- Be flexible to be able
to meet the needs of the majority of partners.
