| Title: | GB-Rickmansworth: Integrated Impact Assessment for the TRDC Local Plan |
| Notice type: | Competitive Contract Notice |
| Authority: | Watford Borough Council |
| Nature of contract: | Not applicable |
| Procedure: | Not applicable |
| Short Description: | The Council is seeking to commission Consultants to prepare an Integrated Impact Assessment (IIA) that fulfils the requirement for a Habitat Regulations Assessment (HRA), Equalities Impact Assessment (EIA) and Health Impact Assessment (HIA). By taking this integrated approach it avoids the need to undertake and report on separate assessments, seeks to reduce any duplication of assessment work and benefits from a shared understanding of the outputs to inform policy development, particularly to reflect those elements such as climate change, green infrastructure, transport etc which cut across a variety of planning matters. The Council has declared a ‘Climate Emergency’ and set a target of making its operations net-zero by 2030. The Assessment should have regard to this target, and it is essential that this is fully integrated into the IIA process in order to ensure that the Local Plan helps achieve these targets. This is being operated as an Open Tender. Please see Tender Pack for full information. The tender pack also includes links to the Council's Local Plan Development. |
