Objectives, and their related strategies, should appear where they are mostly likely to be found by a person assessing an application. For example the objective: To keep houses away from factories should appear under a residential heading because it applies when considering residential development not within an Industrial heading. – Strategies Strategies are ways of achieving the objectives. Strategies should be able to follow from the statement: The responsible authority will … Facilitate the use of alternative transport modes, at both the local and metropolitan levels. It is typical in planning schemes for strategies to and require a balancing ‘compete’ from decision makers on a case-by-case basis. However strategies that are ‘conflicting’ aimed at an irreconcilable end are not helpful. The following matrix of strategy verbs presents the Committee’s approach to the use of verbs in strategies based on the policy approach to be taken and the type of action to which the policy is directed. The matrix identifies whether the strategy has a focus of facilitation, regulation, further planning work or identifying matters for consideration.
