How we developed the Sustainable Community Strategy
The Devon Strategic Partnership has developed a new Sustainable Community Strategy (SCS) for Devon. This has informed the new generation Local Area Agreement (LAA) which will run from 2008-2011
The Sustainable Community Strategy (SCS) has been produced as a summary booklet supported by a website that provides more detailed information about evidence, consultation and proposed action.
"The role of the Sustainable Community Strategy is to set out the strategic vision for a place. It provides a vehicle for considering and deciding how to address difficult cross-cutting issues such as the economic future of an area, social exclusion and climate change. Building these issues into the community's vision in an integrated way is at the heart of creating sustainable development at a local level."
