The sub-regional strategy for South Hampshire sets out objectives for growing prosperity and improving the quality of life. Those objectives need to be translated into actions that will deliver change. PUSH’s Business Plan sets out how the sub-regional strategy is to be delivered.
This first Plan covers the period 2008-11; but it is not set in stone. The evidence base to inform decisions is developing all the time, and the national and regional policy context is also evolving. We therefore expect to review the Plan at regular intervals, initially after six months, and update it as necessary. It is therefore a ‘living document’. But it provides a firm basis for actions to be taken forward by PUSH and our partners.
The Plan is in two volumes. In the first, an introduction sets out PUSH’s vision and the outcomes to be delivered. The following chapters deal with the main themes in PUSH’s work programme: economic development; transport infrastructure; social infrastructure and sustainability; housing and local planning; and creating quality places. The end chapters look at PUSH’s organisational development and governance. The second volume contains more detailed action plans, putting flesh on the priority actions identified in each chapter. It also sets out an indicative budget for activities.
