What is the <strong>Development</strong> <strong>Management</strong> Document?<br />
1.0.4 '<strong>Development</strong> <strong>Management</strong>' is a positive and proactive approach to shaping, considering,<br />
determining and delivering development proposals. The emphasis is on collaboration<br />
instead <strong>of</strong> negotiation; coming to a balanced agreement which solves problems rather<br />
than a compromise which doesn't meet everyone's objectives.<br />
1.0.5 The process is led by the local planning authority, working closely with those proposing<br />
developments and other stakeholders. It is undertaken in the spirit <strong>of</strong> partnership and<br />
inclusiveness, and supports the delivery <strong>of</strong> key priorities and outcomes. The <strong>Development</strong><br />
<strong>Management</strong> <strong>Policies</strong> do not just control land uses but positively promote sustainable<br />
development. <strong>Development</strong> <strong>Management</strong> <strong>Policies</strong> help implement the Core Strategy.<br />
1.0.6 In line with Planning Policy Statement 12 (PPS 12), only policies which relate to the delivery<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Core Strategy objectives are included and repetition <strong>of</strong> national and London Plan<br />
policy is avoided. More use <strong>of</strong> national guidance (PPSs) and London Plan Policy for<br />
decision making is expected rather than having a policy to cover every potential<br />
development angle.<br />
1.0.7 Each policy section identifies the Core Strategy policy it helps implement. The draft<br />
<strong>Development</strong> <strong>Management</strong> policies are followed by some explanatory text where necessary.<br />
1.1 The Policy Context<br />
1.1.1 The council makes decisions about land-use in the borough based on national, regional<br />
(London) and its own local policy. These decisions affect what can be built, where, and<br />
how buildings are used. These decisions also affect other matters including;<br />
the public realm (the accessible spaces in-between buildings such as streets)<br />
parks and nature conservation<br />
the energy used by buildings<br />
parking<br />
conservation<br />
the accessibility and inclusive design <strong>of</strong> the the environment<br />
1.1.2 These decisions are guided by the <strong>Development</strong> Plan; this is made up <strong>of</strong> a set <strong>of</strong> documents<br />
including this document. In the next few paragraphs we explain the local <strong>Development</strong><br />
Plan in more detail.<br />
