Policy into Practice
The development and implementation of policies using a sound evidence base is one of the central tenets of the new planning system. To this end, the PPS12 Companion Guide (p.34) states that: “comprehensive survey and monitoring information will be needed to develop evidence bases which help authorities to identify opportunities, constraints and issues for their areas. Authorities will need to assess and build on this to ensure they have sufficient social, environmental, economic and physical information to identify the spatial characteristics of their locality. Local communities, stakeholders and commercial interests should be involved in the development of the evidence base. This will help to achieve effective document preparation as well as strengthening the commitment of key delivery agencies and the wider community to the implementation of the framework as a whole. Although a broad evidence base is desirable, authorities will need to adopt realistic approaches, drawing upon existing sources of information (e.g. from other local strategies, corporate initiatives and community-led appraisals) where possible. Authorities will need to identify where to focus their efforts in terms of preparing the evidence base”.
