1.26 The structure of the plan is outlined below. Each section is guided by the principles set out at the introduction to this chapter: • compact growth, • a city of neighbourhoods and communities, • sustainable and active travel, • enhanced built and natural heritage, • a diverse and resilient economy, • a resilient city, • a healthy, diverse and inclusive city, • a connected city, and • a city of learning and culture. 1.27 Chapters 1 and 2 introduce the Plan and set out the Goals and Core Strategy for the city. The following chapters 3-9 set out development objectives and actions under a range of headings. Chapter 10 identifies Key Growth Areas and Neighbourhood Development Sites throughout the City that, if developed, will have local benefits and could act as catalysts for transforming their surrounding neighbourhoods. Some of these sites may also benefit from active land management interventions. Chapter 11 sets out placemaking and development management objectives. Chapter 12 sets out land-use zoning objectives (which are illustrated in a series of zoning maps within Volume 2).
Volume 1: Written Statement Volume 2: Mapped Objectives Volume 3: Built Heritage Objectives
Volume 1: The Written Statement
1.25 The Written Statement comprises the main policy document of the Plan. While intended to be read by a broad audience this Plan is a legal document and often wording in the Plan reflects the statutory obligations of the Plan. In the event of any conflict or ambiguity between the written statement and the supporting maps or appendices, the written statement (Core Strategy and Strategic Objectives) will take precedence.
