  3. What the RSS Is and Isn’t RSS is : Part of the Statutory Development Plan Sits alongside the RES and other Regional strategies within the IRS Contains a Regional Transport Strategy Strategic guidance which will be translated into detailed plans in Local Development Documents RSS isn’t: Detailed….not every place can be mentioned Based on ‘Predict and Provide’. It sets a ‘direction of travel’ and gives strategic direction about how much provision for development is needed but this will be reviewed as part of ‘Plan, Monitor, Manage’

  7. Realism ….about growth This region is growing and we need to plan for it 1991 to 2001 highest regional population growth rate Average economic growth has been nearly 3% pa Our best estimate is that this will continue at these sorts of rates but… we need to be smarter about managing the consequences of growth

  8. RSS Principle RSS Principle : Sustainability Being Smarter about Managing Growth • Strategic Sustainability Assessment Prescription • Reduce the Region’s ‘Eco Footprint’ and Emissions • Less Travel • Better Use of Resources • More Resource Efficient Building Practices • Anticipate Climate Change effects

  11. RSS Pragmatism Technical forecasts say we need to provide 25,000 new dwellings per year…at least Bottom up assessments by local authorities suggest less can be provided within local capacity of environment, infrastructure etc The draft RSS therefore contains provision for about 23,200 new dwellings per year
