MOBILE AND HOME WORKINGThe impacts of home working and other flexible working patterns have not yet been fully considered in the preparation of RSS and further work will need to be undertaken. Local authorities should consider the implications of home working on the scale and location of future employment land requirements (RSS policy W3 and paragraph 6.16) Encourage home working and mobile working via ICT usage (NWRES p.24) Facilitate new working practices such as live/work units (PPS4 para.2.1(k)).

RETAIL AND TOWN CENTRESNETWORKS AND HIERARCHIES OF CENTRESLocal planning authorities as part of their economic vision should set out a strategy for the management and growth of centres over the plan period. As part of this they should define a network and hierarchy of centres (PPS4 para EC3.1(b)) In developing the hierarchy, account should be taken of the ease of accessibility of each centre by public transport (PPG 13 para 34) A three-tier hierarchy is in operation within Salford to control the scale and location of retail and leisure development. 1) Town Centres (made up of Salford Precinct, Eccles, Swinton and Walkden) 2) 18 neighbourhood centres 3) other local shops. Through this the vitality and viability of town and neighbourhood centres can be protected and local needs met (UDP Policy ST9) The Regional Centre should be at the top of the hierarchy such that retail and leisure development of more than local significance is directed here where possible in order to further its role as the main economic driver of the sub-region (MCRSS Policy MR2) (RSS Policy W5) Development should be planned at the appropriate scale for the centre (UDP Policy S1)(RSS Policy W5) It will also be important to support the role that smaller town centres can play in the provision of local services and to maximise the role of sustainable transport in improving access (LTP3, p.25) Download 1.19 Mb.
