<strong>Wiltshire</strong> Local<br />
Development<br />
Framework<br />
Strategic objectives<br />
2.4 Outlined below are the objectives for delivering the vision for <strong>Wiltshire</strong>. The objectives represent<br />
an amalgamation of work by the former district councils which were developed in consultation<br />
with the community. The objectives were drafted early on in the plan preparation process to<br />
ensure integration with other plans and strategies. The strategic objectives provide more specific<br />
direction to the spatial strategy and polices in the core strategy.<br />
2.5 The key outcomes attached to each strategic objective are derived from the <strong>Wiltshire</strong> LDF<br />
evidence base including the <strong>Wiltshire</strong> Sust<strong>ai</strong>nability Scoping Report. They will be refined<br />
to make them more measurable and will be used to shape the polices and proposals for each<br />
community area as the core strategy develops. The <strong>Wiltshire</strong> Sust<strong>ai</strong>nability Appr<strong>ai</strong>sal<br />
ensures that the <strong>Wiltshire</strong> LDF contributes towards delivering sust<strong>ai</strong>nable development.<br />
Strategic objective 1<br />
To address climate change<br />
Climate change is possibly the greatest long-term challenge facing the world today. Tackling climate<br />
change is therefore a key government priority for the planning system. Local authorities are uniquely<br />
placed to act on climate change. The planning system can help deliver sust<strong>ai</strong>nable development<br />
and shape communities that are resilient to the unavoidable consequences of this global problem.<br />
Key outcomes<br />
A sust<strong>ai</strong>nable pattern of development, including the self-cont<strong>ai</strong>nment of settlements and a reduction<br />
in the need to travel, will have contributed towards meeting the council’s climate change obligations<br />
The supply of energy and heat from renewable sources will have met national and regional<br />
targets<br />
New development will have incorporated sust<strong>ai</strong>nable building practices and where possible<br />
will have contributed to improving the existing building stock<br />
High energy efficiency will have been incorporated into new buildings and development<br />
New developments will have incorporated appropriate adaptation and mitigation for climate<br />
change<br />
New development will support sust<strong>ai</strong>nable waste management<br />
The sourcing and use of local food will have helped to reduce <strong>Wiltshire</strong>’s ecological footprint<br />
