Issues

• 50 pages = Scope for Interpretation

• Lack of strategic planning layer.

• Planning by case law decisions

• 12 months to get plans in conformity or published or else SD will take over

• Linkages with NEWP there but weak

Crossing the Divide

• New thinking about tools that help unite rather than divide

– Rufopoly*

– Green Infrastructure

– Strategic Environmental Assessment

– Community Infrastructure Levy

– Visitor Payback

relu Rural Economy and

• Danger of preparing plans and strategies with one lens in isolation

• Target-led culture creates agency insularity

• Power of inclusive processes and partnerships integrate economy, society and environment

• Importance of planners and environmentalists becoming bedfellows
