New UK Government guidance on Planning for Sustainable Economic Development
Local authority planners may in future need to ensure that planning decisions take full account of economic and sustainability issues, in light of the draft consultation paper PPS4 "Planning for Sustainable Economic Development".
Greenwatt Technology recently completed a new-style Sustainable Economic Development Statement (SEDS) for a leading East Midlands local authority. This consisted of an impact study and economic development review for a major planning proposal including assessment of economic regeneration outputs, analysis of workspace, community benefits, transport issues and sustainable environment. The proposed mixed-use development will include renovation of a listed building along with new-build for a new college campus and a business centre for creative industries.
For an overview of the requirements of PPS4 please contact for our paper 'A new approach to planning a sustainable development'
Please contact Mike Woollacott, Projects Director to discuss how we can assist you. |
