This process is an opportunity to consider ways by which the plan can contribute to improvements in environmental, social and economic conditions, as well as a means of identifying and mitigating any potential adverse effects that the plan might otherwise have.An HRA provides analysis of the potential impacts of the strategy on certain protected wildlife sites, namely those of the highest importance for nature conservation. It is undertaken to ensure biodiversity is not harmed by implementation of policies by Local Authorities.
