It contains some of the South West region’s best urban regeneration opportunities, and a real asset for Poole is that these opportunities are at the heart of the town. This gives Poole a realistic prospect of stepping up to the challenge of meeting its housing needs while also transforming the economy and revitalising the Town Centre. 1.2 However, Poole will need other areas to offer the right mix of jobs, schools, local facilities and a suitable choice of housing. This will rely upon having Picture 1.1 Poole’s Town Centre a clear vision as to the kind of place Poole should be in the future. Such a vision needs to be shared by various strategies, organisations and individuals to work towards some common goals. This is the process of Spatial Planning. What is Spatial Planning? 1.3 The importance of planning ‘spatially’ is recognised internationally. At he European level, this, has derived from a need to integrate a complex array of policy documents, territorial strategies, legislative systems and cultural approaches across the EU. …Spatial development refers to the distribution of built and natural features and human activity across territory...[and]...is a product of many sectoral policies and actions in public and private sectors…. Spatial planning is concerned with ensuring that the spatial policy impacts are considered and coordinated – in the interests of sustainable spatial development…. The Role and Scope of Spatial Planning - Literature Review (DCLG, December 2006) 1.4 Although this interpretation is derived from a European imperative which spans many territories and nation states, the principles of spatial planning are consistent across all levels, whether we are concerned with local or international strategies. In Britain, the shift in emphasis of our own planning system to a more spatial approach is based upon three central themes: l to focus the planning system on delivering outcomes which might be shared across a variety of strategies, policies and public and private sector interests; l to consider the interrelationships between policies and actions, and to understand the territorial implications of these (in other words, how they combine to affect places, people and activities over time); and l to engage better with communities and stakeholders in a manner which communicates these close relationships between different policy strands and activities. Return to Contents 1 1 Definition of Spatial Planning Planning which goes beyond traditional land uses to integrate policies for the development and use of land with other policies and programmes which influence the nature of places and how they function. That will include policies which can impact on land use (for example by influencing the demands on or needs for development) but which are not capable of being delivered solely or mainly through the grant or refusal of planning permission and which may be implemented by other means. (Planning Advisory Service) Poole’s Local Development Framework and the Role of the Core Strategy 1.5 Local Development Frameworks (LDFs) are required to set out a spatial blueprint for how places are expected to change over a period of time. Being spatial, the LDF must reflect other strategies and policies in their area, including matters such as health care priorities, education, economic development and so on. The LDF is not a single plan but rather a suite of documents. 1.6 The Core Strategy sets out the vision, broad principles and spatial approach for the period 2006-2026. During this period the plan will be reviewed to reflect progress in its delivery, and it is anticipated that this would be carried out in time to have a revised Core Strategy adopted by not later than the mid-point of the plan period (i.e. 2016). Other development plan documents, which will include more detailed management policies, will take the lead from the Core Strategy to ensure that they are in conformity with its vision, spatial strategy and policies. 1.7 Other development plan documents concern more specific policy and implementation details. Over time, the LDF will replace Poole Local Plan First Alteration (adopted in March 2004). Appended to the Core Strategy is a schedule of local plan policies setting out which documents in the LDF are expected to review and replace these. The statutory documents set out in the Local Development Scheme as at April 2007 are: Anticipated Document Status Spatial Purpose What it will contain Adoption Date Core Strategy DPD1 To provide the delivery A Vision for Poole February vehicle for other strategies Strategic Objectives 2009 or plans which have a spatial dimension A Spatial Strategy To provide a spatial Policy framework for expression of the Sustainable the overall scale and Communities Strategy direction of change To show where and how An expression of how places
