Spatial Planning
Purpose
Spatial development frameworks which this knowledge builder covers are a new approach to planning. It is an approach that echoes the notion of sustainability and sustainable development with its focus on using planning as a mechanism for contemplating, coordinating and delivering ‘joined-up’ government.
Benefits
Spatial development frameworks are the new planning system. It will take a number of years before the full implications and significance of this approach begin to emerge. In the meantime, there is a re-adjustment underway of all those involved in planning.
Audience
Urban and regional planners and all those wishing to build and assess their knowledge of the topic.
Learning method
This knowledge builder focuses upon the experiences in England following the introduction of the new system of spatial development frameworks in the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004. Additionally a range of further reading is provided for those who wish to become expert in the subject. Includes voluntary self assessment for recording continuous professional development (CPD).
