  2. PLYMOUTH

  3. STRATEGIC CONTEXT:A Long History of Plan Making “Town and country, however distinct, cannot be isolated in any true study of the human environment. The artistic problem of their interaction is no less the social and economic one. The town can only be properly studied in relation to its geographical setting: the convenient unit for such a study is called the region” (Abercrombie, 1933) “We regret, however, that we have only been able to deal in full detail within the existing city boundaries, because the adjoining Authorities failed to take advantage of the offer the Council made to them to participate actively in the preparation of this report. It is obvious, however, that the ultimate planning of this town and immediate countryside will have its effect much beyond the boundaries…(and)a real co-operative effort…might bring unbounded prosperity to the area”. (Paton Watson/Patrick Abercrombie, 1943) Sir Patrick Abercrombie (1879 – 1957)

  7. THE STORY SO FAR… THE PLYMOUTH PLAN CONVERSATION (October 2012 – June 2013) The first consultation for the Plymouth Plan started with the “What’s the Future” pop-up shop,and continued as we travelled around the city with a sofa and some knitting, chatting to people about the future of Plymouth… PLYMOUTH PLAN CONNECTIONS (July 2014 - October 2014) The sofa was back…visiting over 60 different venueschatting to people about what they liked/didn’t like in the city. We also asked local community groups to host their own events and workshops to discuss the 8 PPAAs and 24 Topic Papers.

  8. PLYMOUTH PLAN CHECK-UP (21 January 2015 – 04 March 2015) The comments and evidence base which had been collected so far, were used to draft Plymouth Plan Part One. This was then consulted on as well as a Sustainability Appraisal and a booklet version of an Equality Impact Assessment. Throughout Plymouth Plan Part One’s various stages, we received approximately 4,000 comments and won a national planning award: the RTPI award for Excellence in Plan Making Practice 2015. The Plymouth Plan Part One replaces over 130 different strategies.
