Please detail the outcome of the assessment: No major alterations to policy assessed, EIA shows policy is robust x Adjust the policy to remove barriers or better promote equality Continue the policy – there are justifications to continue the policy despite potential for adverse impact Stop and remove the policy as there is actual or potential; unlawful discrimination 7.2. For Outcome 2. in section 7.1 above - please detail recommendations, including any action required to address negative impacts identified or to better promote equality The only potentially negative impact identified was the accessibility to listed buildings. It was not determined necessary to mitigate this, because the policy, in principle, doesn’t limit accessibility; rather the detail of an individual building could. It is considered this is unlikely, and that the planning application process can mitigate those impacts, and balance the issue against government policy and legislation. 7.3. Is a more detailed impact assessment needed? Please state the key issues and recommendations arising from the Children’s Rights Impact Assessment (if applicable)? No. 7.4 If Outcome 3 is chosen from section 7.1 above, please outline the justifications for continuing the policy/procedure. Section 8 – Monitoring 8.1. Describe how you will monitor the impact of this policy e.g. performance indicators used, other monitoring arrangements, who will monitor progress, criteria used to measure if outcomes are achieved. Annual monitoring of the LDP will take place through audits of town centres, housing and employment land designations. An action programme will also be published annually to indicate the Council’s progress with implementing the LDP. These will generate and consider sources of data on impact of the LDP.
