This article reviews free access publications and documents on town and regional planning SEA in order to
assess their impact. Although there are some publications on EIA as to regional and town planning, these
are infrequent in the field of SEA and two main reasons are suggested for this namely and one, most planning
schemes usually met (such as local plan reviews, area plans and development schemes) are to a certain
extent similar to building projects due to their design scope and approach, thus their environmental
assessments have been carried out with some limitations following procedures and methods similar to those
for EIA projects and b) the availability of commonly agreed SEA methods still suffers a short fall due to the
novelty of this tool and the lack of any compulsory requirements as to its being employed. However, the
bringing in of a broader approach to planning that will take into account environmental and urban
sustainability principles is still a must. SEA could well prove to be the most adequate tool for an incorporating
of the demands made by the environment within a bettering of decision making in town planning processes
as within a regional planning and sustainable development context. Some recent publication here reviewed
would seem to point in this direction.
