PLANS WITH APPLICATION OF THE SEA AT REGIONAL LEVEL

Table 1 shows the status of the schedule, whether or not it is complete. Also included are the main partial plans (by sector). A plan is considered complete when all the plans or partial excerpts that may compose it are present, except in cases where the planning tools in force are not updated with respect to current legislation. Only complete plans are counted in totals, not partial instruments. For those regions in which the territorial plan or the landscape plan take on both values, they are counted separately, i.e. as two plans, one territorial and one landscape.

As can be seen from Table 1 and Figures 1a and 1b, 11 regions are confirmed in which all the plans examined are in force and complete, specifically: Piedmont, Lombardy, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Emilia-Romagna, Tuscany, Umbria, Marche, Lazio, Abruzzo, Puglia and Calabria. In 2024, 2 floors were completed and 9 floors underwent changes and/or upgrades. The total number of plans in force rises to 130, or 88% of the total expected (147). 
As regards planning processes with SEA (Table 2), as of 2024 there are 105 complete plans with SEA (whose type and geographical distribution are represented in Figures 1a and 1b) and as many as 42 processes in progress. There are as many as 16 planning processes with SEA that have been completed in 2024: 2 for energy plans, 4 for transport plans, 6 for waste management plans, 1 for territorial plans and 3 for air quality remediation plans. The total number of comprehensive plans in force with SEA currently represents 71% of all comprehensive plans envisaged (147) and 81% of the plans currently in force (130). In this case, waste management plans are distinguished on the one hand (20 out of 21, about 95%), on the other hand there are landscape plans (with only 7 plans, about 33%). From an analysis by region, Piedmont, Lombardy, the Province of Trento, Veneto, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Emilia-Romagna, Tuscany and Puglia are confirmed as those with the highest number of complete plans with SEA compared to the planned plans (86-100%), while Basilicata and the province of Bolzano are those with the lowest number (29%). Table 2 considers the different situations encountered on planning processes with SEA, including also partial plans and some special cases. The SEA processes indicated are intended to be in implementation of the provisions of Legislative Decree 152/06 and subsequent amendments. or other regulatory references (EU Directive 42/2001, the related regional laws, etc.). In this table, the expression "development of a new plan" is used both in the case of partial updating of the contents of an already approved plan (by extension, integration, adaptation, variation, etc.) and when the planning largely changes its specific objectives and contents, for example to comply with a radically new current legislation, or due to the change of direction of the executive body of the administration,  or because a long time has elapsed without changes to the previous plan, it is necessary to restart the planning completely. As already done in the previous edition, proceedings initiated for more than eight years (reported in the note) and for which no further updates are available on the net are considered suspended. As regards the phases of the planning processes with SEA, an attempt was made to reduce the various situations encountered to three categories: elaboration of the new plan, complete plan (with act of approval or adoption), SEA monitoring on the plan being implemented. For monitoring, the year of the most recent information available is reported in brackets. For partial plans, the specific sectors to which they refer are reported in brackets. It was decided to include among the planning processes with SEA also those that provide for checks on the subjection of the full or partial content of the plan to SEA.
