LCC South Bank Planning Statement
![Page 6: Leeds Sustainable Development Group Landowners’ and Developers’ Discussion 11 July 2011](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070413/5697bfc11a28abf838ca43a6/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
A significant area of South Bank is in a ‘planning vacuum’. LSDG argues for a holistic approach for the whole area – a sustainable neighbourhood for the long term.

Wider Area – Issues & Opportunities
![Page 8: Leeds Sustainable Development Group Landowners’ and Developers’ Discussion 11 July 2011](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070413/5697bfc11a28abf838ca43a6/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• LCC South Bank focuses on the delivery of the Park
• misses opportunity to address wider issues
• commercial drivers – why go South of the River?
• policy should examine: • highways – reducing car dependence and traffic impact • economic (e.g. sustainable energy) • social infrastructure (e.g. schools)• access to the waterfront and flood alleviation
• all need to be resolved: • to develop South Bank in a truly sustainable way • to add value to land and property in the area

Economic Infrastructure
• capacity for city centre developments:o officeo retail
• highly accessible by all modes of transport• pool of labour in existing rim estates• potential for jobs close to home• local energy generation• a sustainable mixed use neighbourhood

Schooling – Step Change Required
• education & knowledge economy as key drivers
• positive effect of good schools on house prices
• what comes first – school or homes?
• phased school development as children grow

Drivers of Demand
• need to mitigate climate change
• continuing household formation – more homes
• changing decision-making environment:o increased cost of energy & commoditieso squeezed incomeso transport issues
leading to
• co-location of household activities (living, jobs, schools, entertainment, etc)
• sustainable ‘New Town’: homes, jobs, schools, social infrastructure, etc

Key Questions for Discussion
1. Do we work together to add value?
2. Is there a common vision?
3. What are our common objectives?
4. Can we identify actions? • the setting up of a Partnership and/or a
Neighbourhood Forum?• sign-up to a Charter? • deliver common infrastructure e.g. school?• research to inform a business case?
