·¬ÇÑÉçÇø

Places for the future

Status: On hold.

The Places for the Future supplementary planning document (SPD) has been drafted to provide detailed guidance for future development and investment in ·¬ÇÑÉçÇø, with particular emphasis on safeguarding our resources for future generations.

The SPD’s specific objectives are to:

  • Set out how national and strategic policy will be interpreted in detail in ·¬ÇÑÉçÇø’s development.
  • Identify the elements of sustainable development which all future projects must consider.
  • Provide detailed guidance on both of the above.
  • Ensure the city meets its agreed carbon reduction targets.
  • Ensure the city adapts to future climate change.
  • Ensure the city’s overall natural environment, biodiversity, ecology and historical heritage are nurtured and maintained.

This supplementary planning document is written to support the sustainable development policies of the draft ·¬ÇÑÉçÇø Development Plan and the key outcomes of the ·¬ÇÑÉçÇø Sustainable ·¬ÇÑÉçÇø Strategy 2026.

We asked for your comments on this document in February and March 2012, and have taken them into account. The document is to be renamed ‘Your Green & Healthy City’ to better reflect its content, and has been put on hold until the examination into the ·¬ÇÑÉçÇø Development Plan is completed.
