Tool summary

Name of the tool
Countryside around Towns Planning Framework

Description of the tool
The proposed framework links between various levels (vertical integration) and across various activities and sectors (horizontal integration). The vertical coordination comprises: national level (planning policy guidance and government programmes), regional and sub-regional level (strategic spatial planning and programmes), local authority, district and unitary level (Local Development Frameworks and Action Plans); site and area level refers to ‘area types’ and ‘development models’ to guide planning and landscape management. The horizontal integration consists in: a planning strand (planning policies, guidelines, structures and processes at each level), a management strand (direct management programmes and investment programmes at each level), external linkages (coordination with other bodies, such as infrastructure providers, housing developers, farmers, foresters, minerals operators, etc.)

Specific topic
The framework is focused on the interface between urban and rural areas and their sustainable planning.
