70 The Regional Environment Strategy <strong>for</strong> The East of England<br />
APPENDIX 3 – OTHER REGIONAL STRATEGIES<br />
Work towards an Integrated Regional Strategy continues to evolve. In addition to the<br />
Regional Environment Strategy, the following strategies have also been produced or<br />
are being prepared. Additional strategies may also be required in the <strong>future</strong> in order to<br />
complete the set. For example, a Regional Woodland Strategy is currently being produced.<br />
Sustainable Development Framework (SDF)<br />
The Sustainable Development Framework <strong>for</strong> the East of England provides overarching<br />
guidance to enc<strong>our</strong>age the adoption of <strong>sustainable</strong> development principles in all<br />
regional strategies and <strong>action</strong> plans. Published in October 2001, it identifies a set<br />
of high-level <strong>sustainable</strong> development objectives <strong>for</strong> the region in addition to more<br />
detailed challenges and objectives.<br />
Regional Planning Guidance (RPG)<br />
In light of the new arrangements <strong>for</strong> regional planning introduced in April 2001, the East<br />
of England Regional Assembly is preparing revised East of England Regional Planning<br />
Guidance (RPG14). This will set out a spatial strategy <strong>for</strong> new development. Regional<br />
planning policies will identify locations <strong>for</strong> planned development and in some cases<br />
prescribe how much development there should be. Although detailed site selection will<br />
be left to local development plans, some major development projects will be identified.<br />
RPG will also contain policies that protect designated environmental assets and set<br />
criteria <strong>for</strong> providing environmental infrastructure such as flood defence and water supply.<br />
In selected locations, sub-regional planning studies have been identified to examine in<br />
more detail strategic growth locations and to address specific issues of concern. RPG14<br />
will be published in the spring of 2004.<br />
The revised RPG will incorporate a Regional Transport Strategy. In addition to providing<br />
a long-term regional framework <strong>for</strong> transport planners and operators, this will support<br />
the spatial, economic and social strategy <strong>for</strong> the region. The transport component of RPG<br />
will in turn be in<strong>for</strong>med by a series of other strategic studies being undertaken within the<br />
region, including multi-modal, ports and airport studies.<br />
RPG will also include the Regional Waste Management Strategy published by the East<br />
of England Regional Waste Technical Advisory Body (RWTAB) in January 2003. The<br />
objective of the Strategy is to reduce the amount of waste produced and to change to<br />
more <strong>sustainable</strong> waste management. The principal purpose of the Strategy is to provide<br />
guidance on the land use planning aspects of waste management by considering regional<br />
needs and the provision of sufficient facilities. It also provides the context <strong>for</strong> Local<br />
Waste Plans prepared by the strategic planning authorities, guides the waste collection<br />
and disposal plans of all authorities in the East of England, and in<strong>for</strong>ms and influences the<br />
private sector in their activities. In line with the timescale <strong>for</strong> RPG, the period that this<br />
Strategy covers extends to 2021.<br />
