Development Plan/ LAP<br />
• Since 2004 all DP / LAP subject to SEA<br />
• It involves a systematic evaluation <strong>of</strong> likely significant environmental<br />
effects <strong>of</strong> objectives in a plan ( can include potential for l<strong>and</strong>slides )<br />
• Making a development plan is a democratic proces <strong>and</strong> involves<br />
significant public consultation<br />
• Its adoption is a reserved function <strong>of</strong> elected members<br />
• Objectives on l<strong>and</strong>slide risk will need to be justified on basis <strong>of</strong><br />
– Robust <strong>and</strong> clear information to identify <strong>and</strong> map areas at risk<br />
– Sound guidance for avoidance <strong>and</strong> /or mitigation measures for<br />
development in areas at risk<br />
• Project on l<strong>and</strong>slide susceptibility mapping <strong>and</strong> risk assessment is<br />
critical to better integration <strong>of</strong> l<strong>and</strong>slides into the planning process .
