The consultation document sets out that 8 sites were initially considered leading to the discounting of some and then onto a preferred option, and 3 further discounted options. It is not clear, however, how this relates to the SA/SEA process and an explanation of the full range of options that were considered and discounted, or the reasons for discounting. It is a key requirement from the SEA Directive to fully explain for public comment what alternatives have been considered and the reasons for their discounting. It appears from the documentation that not all of this information is available, nor subject to public scrutiny.
