Widening the scope: strategic environmental assessment - Introduction to Environmental Impact Assessment - page 383

Notes
1. See Section 11.3 for a discussion of cumulative impacts and Chapter 9, Section 9.7 for a UK
case study.
2. Tomes could be written on the difference between assessment and appraisal, sustainability
whatever-One-Calls-it and environmental whatever one calls it (WOCI). Here, appraisal is
seen as a short form of SEA, sustainability assessment as an expansion of environmental
assessment.
3. The UK comprises England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Each of these will
regulate for plans and programmes that fall within their responsibilities, and develop
appropriate guidance.
