Local Economic and Community Plans LECP | Guidelines 2021
Public Realm: The external places in our towns and cities that are accessible to all. The everyday spaces that we move through and linger within, the places where we live, work and play. Reserved Function: A reserved function of a Local Authority is one which can only be performed by the elected members. Review: A part of the planning process to assess the progress of implementation. They are a ‘snapshot’ in the life of an initiative and tend to focus on operational issues, effectiveness of governance and project management structures, and may also include policy outcomes. Findings and recommendations from reviews should be used to improve implementation. Smarter Travel: Short for the Department of Transport’s Sustainable Transport policy document ‘Smarter Travel, A Sustainable Transport Future 2009 –2020’. Social entrepreneurship: An approach by individuals, groups, start-up companies or entrepreneurs, in which they develop, fund and implement solutions to social, cultural, or environmental issues. This concept may be applied to a wide range of organisations, which vary in size, aims, and beliefs. Socio-economic Analysis: A tool to evaluate what costs and benefits an action will create for society by comparing what will happen if this action is implemented as compared to the situation where the action is not implemented. Social Enterprise: An enterprise that trades for a social/societal purpose, where at least part of its income is earned from its trading activity, is separate from government, and where the surplus is primarily reinvested in the social objective. Social Inclusion: The process of improving the terms on which individuals and groups take part in society—improving the ability, opportunity, and dignity of those disadvantaged on the basis of their identity.
Social Infrastructure: A subset of the infrastructure sector and typically includes assets that accommodate social services. Examples include schools, universities, hospitals, prisons and community housing. Spatial Planning: Planning that gives geographical expression to the economic, social, cultural and ecological policies of society. It is at the same time a scientific discipline, an administrative technique and a policy developed as an interdisciplinary and comprehensive approach directed towards balanced regional development and the physical organisation of space according to an overall strategy. Stakeholder: a person such as an employee, customer, or citizen who is involved with an organisation, society, etc. and therefore has responsibilities towards it and an interest in its success. Strategic Environmental Assessment: A systematic decision support process, aiming to ensure that environmental and possibly other sustainability aspects are considered effectively in policy, plan and program making. Sustainable Development: Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
