It is a policy of the Central
Pickering Development Plan that preparation, review and
approval of development applications within Central
Pickering will be carried out with a view to achieving six
broad sustainable community principles:
- Fostering a healthy
natural environment;
- Encouraging a healthy
built environment;
- Ensuring economic health;
- Creating opportunities for
education and public awareness;
- Fostering social and
cultural well-being; and
- Providing appropriate
measure for monitoring and measuring success.
The performance measures
shall be established by the City, in consultation with
landowners and other interested stakeholders, shall be
incorporated into the neighbourhood plans. The performance
measures shall include benchmarks for the following:
- Energy conservation;
- Building and community
design;
- Cultural heritage
conservation;
- Accessibility for the
disabled;
- Air quality;
- Human health promotion;
and
- Environmental net gain.
The preparation of the
sustainability performance measures and benchmarks is one of
the studies being undertaken through the Neighbourhood
Planning Study.
