In doing this it will:- • Provide an up-to-date land use planning framework for the delivery of the Council’s physical, social and economic programmes in support of the Renfrewshire Community Plan • Encourage and support regeneration • Promote sustainable economic and physical development • Provide a basis for maintaining and enhancing the quality of Renfrewshire’s natural heritage and built environment • Identify opportunities for change and development • Provide a framework for decision making which will seek to ensure that development and changes in land use are sustainable and take place in suitable locations and provide protection from inappropriate development Reasons for preparing the Local Plan 1.2 The Council is required by the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997 to prepare a Local Plan or Plans for the whole of its area. It is also required to ensure that the Local Plan or Plans are kept up-to-date. Renfrewshire Council is committed to maintaining an up-to-date and relevant Local Plan coverage which will complement and support its wider range of plans and programmes. 1.3 The Council is required to ensure that the Local Plan conforms to the Structure Plan for the area. A new Structure Plan has been prepared by the Council, in conjunction with seven other Councils around and to the west of Glasgow, through the Glasgow and the Clyde Valley Structure Plan Joint Committee. Further details of this are provided below (paragraphs 1.46 - 1.50). The Council has taken the opportunity to prepare the Local Plan in parallel with the Structure Plan to provide a comprehensive and fully integrated Local Plan and Structure Plan framework for Renfrewshire. 1.4 The Renfrewshire Local Plan will, when adopted, supersede the Renfrew District Local Plan which covers the whole of the Renfrewshire Council area as well as Barrhead, Neilston and Uplawmoor which now form part of East Renfrewshire Council. This Local Plan will provide comprehensive Local Plan coverage for the Renfrewshire Council area. 5 REFERENCES The Plan Process 1.5 The process involved in the preparation of the Local Plan is summarised in Diagram 1.1. Notice of Intention to Prepare Publication of Appraisal of Renfrew District Local Plan Consultation on Appraisal Consultative Draft Local Plan Consultation on Consultative Draft Local Plan Consider Responses to Consultation Publish Finalised Local Plan Opportunity to Object to Finalised Local Plan Consider Objections and where Possible Resolve Public Local Inquiry to Consider Unresolved Objections Consider Recommendation of Reporter to Public Local Inquiry Make changes to Finalised Local Plan based on Reporters Recommendations Advertise Proposed Changes Adopt Local Plan In accordance with national planning advice (PAN 49), an appraisal of the Renfrew District Local Plan was carried out and this was subject to a consultation exercise early in 1999. The Appraisal assessed the standing of the policies in the Renfrew District Local Plan, identified changes which require to be made 6 REFERENCES and issues which require to be dealt with in the new Local Plan. Over seventy comments were received on the Appraisal and these were taken into account in the preparation of the Consultative Draft. Over 170 representations were received in response to the Consultative Draft and these have been taken into account in the preparation of the finalised Local Plan. Details of the representations and the changes which have been made in response are listed in the Publicity and Consultation Statement which accompanied the finalised Plan. Objections to the finalised Plan were heard at a Public Local Inquiry held during December 2003 and January 2004, and the Reporter’s recommendations in respect of the objections were received by the Council at the end of 2004. Modifications to the Plan were agreed by the Council in May and June 2005 and following a further period for objections to the proposed modifications, no further modifications were made to the Plan. Local Plan Charter 1.6 A Local Plan Charter has also been prepared which; • Outlines steps in Local Plan preparation; • Explains how the public can influence the content of the Local Plan; • Explains what the public can expect from the Council throughout the stages of its preparation; • Explains what happens once the Local Plan is adopted; and • Sets out the standards of service to be provided by the Council in local planning matters. This was initially issued with the Appraisal Report and copies are available from the Planning and Transport Department and should be read by anyone wishing information on the various stages of the preparation of the Local Plan. How to use the Local Plan Layout of the Plan 1.7 The Local Plan is made up of this Written Statement and the Proposals Map which shows the policies on an Ordnance Survey map. The arrangement of the sections of this Written Statement of the Local Plan is shown on the Contents page. Briefly the document is made up of the following sections:- Introduction 1.8 The Introduction provides an overview of Renfrewshire and an outline of where the Local Plan fits within the wider policy framework of the Council. Strategic Polices 1.9 The Local Plan Strategy section sets out five Strategic Local Plan Policies reflecting the aims of the Council. These provide the main themes for the Local Plan and give an overall framework for more detailed policies. The strategic 7 REFERENCES policies cover:- 1. Social Inclusion 2. Sustainable Development and Settlement Pattern, covering • The development of towns and villages • Town Centres • The Green Belt 3. Economic Competitiveness 4. The Protection of the Environment 5. The Integration of Planning and Transport Major development opportunities and areas of change 1.10 The Local Plan then sets out a number of policies covering major areas of change within Renfrewshire. These relate to areas where major change is anticipated, where co-ordinated action is required or which are of a size and nature which make them a high priority for the Council. Sections and Topics 1.11 The remainder of the Local Plan is arranged on a topic basis under various section headings. Each topic commences with an overview which summarises the main issues and describes the key elements and objectives of policies covered under the topic. Detailed policies are set out covering land use and the promotion and control of development. These sections are broadly arranged under the same headings as the Structure Plan and are as follows:- • Transportation • Economic Competitiveness • Quality of Life and Health of Communities • Wider Environmental Framework • Safe Environment The list of detailed topics included within each section heading is shown in the Contents Page. Proposals Map 1.12 The Proposals Map, which comprises six individual maps, accompanies and forms part of the Local Plan. It indicates the intended pattern of land use and shows, on an Ordnance Survey base map, the specific areas of land to which policies apply and where there are opportunities for change, development or conservation. In addition, some policies which are not shown on the Proposals Map apply to the whole of Renfrewshire and not only to particular areas. 8 REFERENCES Format of the Plan Integrated Plan 1.13 The Local Plan aims to provide an integrated set of policies which are intended to be consistent and mutually supportive and should be read as a whole. It is intended that the policies will support the Council’s aims and will complement the policies and proposals in other Council planning and policy documents, including the Community Plan, the Structure Plan and the Local Transport Strategy. The aims and policies are intended to be complementary, and the objectives of one document, strategy, policy or proposal should not be achieved at the expense of another. 1.14 The text of the plan has been prepared to represent this integrated approach. The text in each section provides an assessment of the main issues, states what the Council aims to achieve and describes the reasoning behind policies. Policies and proposals are listed at the end part of each topic. Cross references are provided in the right hand margin to related policies in the Local Plan, and to relevant supporting and related documents.

SUMMARY OF KEY FINDINGS The term ‘Needs Assessment’ is often used synonymously with the term ‘Health Needs Assessment,’ to mean an assessment of need based on the health status of the population. For the purposes of this report, we are accepting a broad definition of ‘health needs’ to include those needs that are amenable to both clinical (NHS) and non-clinical (socioeconomic) interventions, in keeping with the ‘wider determinants of health’ theme of the report. This assessment of the health needs of West Dunbartonshire residents emphasises the importance of poverty and disadvantage in the creation of poor health. The key findings of high levels of health damaging behaviour and chronic diseases emphasise the need for effective community and primary care health improvement services.

  • Shaping the Future the Clinical Strategy for NHS Argyll & Clyde
    Shaping the Future The Clinical Strategy for NHS Argyll & Clyde Paper for Public Consultation 14 June – 17 September 2004 NHS Argyll & Clyde Consultation paper 2 NHS Argyll & Clyde Consultation document Executive Summary 1. This document contains proposals for the future provision of health services for the people of Argyll and Clyde. It is based on a set of seven key principles – safety, sustainability, quality, affordability, integration, access and timeliness. 2. A clear plan for health services in NHS Argyll & Clyde is necessary to help tackle both the pressures that health services across Scotland and the UK are experiencing generally and those that apply to the particular circumstances of Argyll and Clyde. These pressures mean that we are unable to sustain the current way in which we provide health services in Argyll and Clyde. If we do not address these pressures effectively, there is a real danger that services will fail and that a poorer quality of service with much diminished access will result. 3. As part of this process of developing a clear plan for the future, we have talked with, and listened to, a great many people from across Argyll and Clyde. These have included patients, carers, people in local communities, our partners and our staff. The proposals contained in this consultation paper are based on these discussions and on the work that took place in the many workshops and meetings across Argyll and Clyde over a period of eight months. We have also looked carefully at professional standards and advice and taken these into account in our proposals.
