RDS Spatial Development Strategy: Hub, Corridor and Gateway Framework

The spatial development strategy of the RDS has at its core a hub, corridor and gateway framework aimed at achieving balanced and sustainable development across the Region. It contains six themes which: • promote regional balance; • encourage sustainable patterns of development; • reflect regional distinctiveness; • strengthen economic opportunities and regional competitiveness; • enhance accessibility; and • make best use of the regional assets in the hubs, corridors and gateways. These themes apply to all development across the region and are embodied within this PPS.
