- Southern Regional Assembly | RSES371 Goal 4 | High Quality Environment and Quality of Life Goal 5 | A Learning, Welcoming and Socially Inclusive Metropolitan Area Goal 6 | Pioneering Locations Networked Internationally and Regionally • Healthy city and heathy metropolitan area status with equity of access to health services, high ratios of access to quality open space and recreational amenities per population and attractive options to uptake active travel between home, work, education and access to services. • Setting high quality performance standards for the metropolitan area to transition towards a zero-carbon future, achieve improved water and air quality, improved sustainable travel and other environmental and health performance standards as indicators for the healthy status of our metropolitan areas. • Fostering a creative metropolitan area with vibrant cultural, arts and heritage scenes. • Fostering a vibrant tourism scene with facilities and attractions that showcase the unique heritage, natural environments and culture of our region, enriching the experiences of both visitors and citizens. • Placing a greater emphasis on performance-based design criteria in developing our metropolitan area, incentivising and awarding innovation in design, energy efficiency, green infrastructure and smart technology integration. • Lifelong Learning • The role of HEI’s and centres of innovation, regional skills, training and apprenticeships. • Targeted initiatives that address social exclusion and prioritise regeneration of disadvantaged areas, especially RAPID areas including education and training. • Valuing the participation of communities and Public Participation Networks. • Community Services and engagement for ethnic minorities and travellers. • Initiatives that protect and develop the potential of our younger and aging cohorts. • Facilities that provide inclusive social, community and recreational facilities for mixed neighbourhoods. • Innovative approaches and multi-agency collaborations to identify, succeed and implement key enabler projects within the metropolitan areas under competitive bid funding through the NPF/ NDP for Urban and Rural Regeneration, Climate Action and Disruptive Technologies. • Regional and international project partnerships and shared learning initiatives exploring new policy and good practice in addressing challenges and opportunities facing metropolitan areas, especially innovation to achieve successful compact growth outcomes. • Development of tools in collaboration between the Local Authorities, research and learning institutes and others to assist implementation and monitoring of progress within our metropolitan area on achieving objectives, especially brownfield and infill renewal targets, improved environmental quality, integration of and use of smart technologies and overall quality of life improvement. • Implementation of the MASPs. A high-quality environment and quality of life in the metropolitan areas will be supported by actions which seek: A socially inclusive, multi-cultural metropolitan area with equal opportunities for learning, supported by actions promoting: Our metropolitan areas will be platforms for good practice implementation, pilot initiatives and innovation with actions seeking:
- Southern Regional Assembly | RSES372 Goal 7 | Evolve Innovative Approaches and Strategic Priorities • Aligns with national and regional planning policies and objectives. • Helps to achieve compact growth targets, provides infrastructure led development with identified packages of interrelated infrastructures, physical and social, and phasing proposals for delivery identified. • Promotes effective alignment between land use and transportation planning, especially alignment with public transport networks, encouragement of sustainable travel and consolidation of suitable nodal points on public transport corridors. • Where new infill locations are proposed, demonstrate how reinforcement and consolidation of the existing settlement pattern is achieved. • Is identified in collaboration with all required landowners and stakeholder agencies with a role for delivery of enabling infrastructure. • Is in accordance with national guidelines. • Is assessed under flood risk and environmental assessments. • Is informed by innovative solutions and good practice to achieve the overarching MASP goals. • Is a demonstrator of good practice within the region for integration of sustainable design, renewable energy, transition of the MASP to a zero-carbon future, green infrastructure and smart technology. • Where applicable, demonstrates how the priority initiative/location can help the delivery of strategic regional projects funded through the NPF/NDP for Urban and Rural Regeneration, Climate Action and Disruptive Technologies or from other funding streams. • Where applicable, demonstrates how the priority initiative/location assists delivery of actions through the National Regeneration and Development Agency. The MASPs allow flexibility therefore for new strategic priorities, further to those listed in each MASP, to emerge over the MASP/RSES timeframe and to be identified in City and County Development Plan Core Strategies, based on the following criteria which demonstrates that the priority initiative/location: Each MASP identifies the strategic locations for population and jobs growth, which will act as a baseline indication of current priority projects. Achieving the NPF growth targets in compact forms will require in depth consideration for new locations and initiatives by each local authority. The existing priority locations alone will not fulfil targets, but they are a snapshot of current strategic priorities which the MASPs support investment in. Opportunities for strategic regeneration of vacant and underused land and property, refurbishment, land use and transport planning integration, active land management initiatives and development agency type approaches are examples of the many different approaches that will need to emerge. Aligned with Goal 6 for pioneering approaches, the identification of new strategic priorities need to be informed by innovative solutions and demonstrate incorporation of good international and regional practices.
