The first stage in the process has been completed following an intensive period of research and analysis and extensive public consultation. A JAAP Evidence Report has been published, together with a Sustainability Appraisal (SA).
The initial SA Scoping Report was consulted on in the early part of 2008 and formed the basis for the Sustainability Appraisal that accompanied the Issues and Options report.
We now want your views on this Preferred Options Report to feed into the final submission version of the JAAP. A further period of public consultation will be undertaken in conjunction with the publication of the submission plan.
