This vision is based on the vision of the Regional Spatial Strategy and Regional Concordat. The Framework supports the central aim of the Regional Spatial Strategy to deliver urban and rural renaissance whilst protecting and enhancing the quality of the environment, ensuring that people and jobs are attracted to the major urban areas, and that rural communities can offer affordable housing, decent access to services and opportunities, and a diversified rural economy. In order to achieve this there is a need to change the way we live and work. This Framework is designed to support the implementation of change through the way strategies, policies and plans incorporate sustainable development objectives.
