It's stated that the Sustainability Appraisal is a "systematic process". Note that the "Site Options Appraisal Findings Table C" from the original AECOM Interim SA
(Ref: AECOM Interim SA Report, Feb 2016; http://www.brentwood.gov.uk/pdf/12022016101306u.pdf) contained "24 Appraisal Criteria". The updated AECOM Interim SA (January 2018), now contains just "17 appraisal criteria". What has happened to 7 of the criteria in this systematic update; including removal of "Protected Urban Open Space" of which some sites performed poorly in 2016 (sites 044 & 178). Suggest to delete the word "systematic" unless justification for the change in criteria is provided.
