CS15: Smart Growth
The Council will work with key stakeholders to encourage and support ‘SMART’ economic growth through measures such as:
- making more efficient use of existing land and premises, especially those suitable for occupation by small businesses and encouraging the implementation of planning permissions granted for additional floorspace;
- better use of information and communication technology, including high speed broadband access to all properties;
- supporting working from home, balancing immediate impact on residential amenity against wider environmental impacts caused by journeys to work;
- Working with partners to develop skills.
We will measure success with the assistance of the following indicators:
- Changes in the number of jobs
- Changes in floorspace of employment uses
- National Indicator NI171 - new business registration rate
- National Indicator NI163 - proportion of the population (aged 19-64 for males and 19- 59 for females) qualified to at least Level 2 or higher skills as measured by educational qualifications
Delivery will be achieved via:
- Delivery DPD
- Development projects
- Through working with business agencies such as Buckinghamshire Business First
