The first stage requires a full evaluation of these elements in order to provide a firm vision for the site. Within the general context the following issues should be considered: Qualitative and Quantitative Data, describing the current regional situation in respect of sustainability issues, e.g.: ■ environmental ■ social ■ economic Master Plan for Clarence Corner, Torfaen ■ institutional Strategic Planning ■ regional/urban development concepts ■ regional/urban land use plans ■ other documents setting current and future situation of area Four Key Steps in the Process The following framework sets out the sequence and processes to be used to agree sustainable indicators, set targets and monitor performance: Step 5 Step 4 Step 3 Step 2 Step 1 Define the Vision Define the Objective Determine an appropriate planning scale and strategic weighting Evaluate, refine, select and agree indicators, targets and measures Produce a Strategic Weighting Statement Produce a Statement of Targets and Measures Produce a Sustainable Development Management Plan including monitoring and reporting framework Produce an Audit and Review Report Define the Scope Research the Context 6
Step 1 Define the Vision Define the Objective Define the Scope Research the Context Step 2 A clear vision for the brownfield redevelopment is essential before any further assessment and development of sustainable development indicators and targets can continue. A set of clear ‘SMART’ objectives is required in order to focus and agree the scope of the sustainable development evaluation process. The Scope of the project or phase needs to be agreed and stated; i.e. is the sustainability evaluation process being undertaken on the whole project or is it for a particular phase - e.g. the Master Plan or reclamation phase - or for construction? It is important that baseline information is available about the site in order to undertake an evaluation. It is thus also important that all those taking part in the evaluation have prior access and are fully briefed on this information. A Vision - Hengelo Selecting a scale appropriate to the development to agree a strategic weighting. To ensure optimum data availability and the cost-effectiveness of the indicators selected to monitor the project impact, the process suggests that administrative units to be used are at the following scales - 1:10,000 (area planning). 1:2,500 (master plans) and 1:500 (buildings and infrastructure). In addition project-specific indicators should be costeffective in terms of data needs and monitoring requirements. In order to develop a strategic weighting for the development - e.g. ‘the sustainable development bias’, using economic, social and environmental elements - the appropriate scale should be chosen to review sustainable development issues based on the present condition (context) and the opportunities that the development potentially has. On the basis of this review, a strategic weighting can be developed before reviewing in more detail indicators and measures to set sustainable development targets and measures. It is suggested that the project team, and where appropriate key stakeholders, work through this list and evaluate the indicators as they pertain to the current status of the development (context) as well as the opportunities perceived to integrate these into the redevelopment of a specific brownfield site.
