PPS 4 aim: economic development with environmental protection
This policy statement aims to facilitate economic development for the region while ensuring environmental protection and sustainable development principles are maintained.
The key aim of this PPS is to facilitate the economic development needs of the Region in ways consistent with protection of the environment and the principles of sustainable development. Safeguarding of environment, and the fostering of a 'clean, green image', can provide economic advantages and employment in itself in terms of the promotion of, for example, tourism, recreation, agri-food and quality of life attractions. Greater use of renewable energy sources will also contribute to protection of the environment and sustainability.
