The preparation of NIFTI has been an iterative process. A number of environmental assessments have been carried out in parallel with its development. These assessments include a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA), Appropriate Assessment (AA) and Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA). All three assessments have informed the development of NIFTI and provided the basis for considering high-level environmental issues and mitigation measures to be embedded in the future implementation process.
