Abstract

SEA has a great role than merely expanding EIA to the more strategic levels of decision-making. SEA can be a key step towards achieving sustainable development.

The paper discusses the need of SEA, introduces the two types of SEA. Integrated with a case of England, the paper discusses the content of “trickle down” SEA and its prospect.
