Scotland 2045: fourth National Planning Framework - draft: integrated impact assessment - non-technical summary

2. What is Integrated Impact Assessment (IIA)?

2.1 It is important to understand and take into account the impact of policies and proposals as they are developed. A range of Impact Assessments have informed the draft NPF4. Where possible we have integrated these assessments into the plan preparation process. We have also co-ordinated evidence gathering and assessment stages where relevant, sharing information and links between the different assessment topics and making connections.
