Mr. Colin Ryan:

There is nothing so formal as that at the moment, as I understand it. However, local authorities, as they come to their new plan, would review where they stand with the previous plan. At least the previous two plan cycles would have included SEAs and even possibly the previous four, depending on the period. Certainly, the previous two to three plan cycles would have involved SEAs. The local authority would look at each one as it comes along and build upon information it has to hand from monitoring and considering the previous plan that is being reviewed as part of the SEA process.
