Regional Planning Policies - Public Services & Utilities

POLICY PSU 1 Community Needs
To facilitate the re-use for housing of previously developed sites, within towns and villages, in preference to greenfield sites.

Changing circumstances determine the requirement of land to meet the needs of the community in terms of health, education and other public facilities. With the possibility of rationalisation and further privatisation of services, emphasis will be placed upon making the best possible use of existing sites. Should circumstances require that new sites are needed, land will be identified by individual site assessment or through the process of preparing a development plan.
