Introduction What is the aim of this guide?
i
Place is a key pillar of public policy and investment in Scotland. This Place Guide includes a practical ‘step by step’ process which works across different place based policy agendas, linking to key policy documents, such as the following, which articulate or support these agendas:
• Place Based Investment – The Place Guide can work as a step by step routemap to adopting the Place Framework, a consistent set of core questions across portfolios to consider alongside the Place Based Investment Programme when making local investments
• Net Zero Transition – The Place Guide can support compliance with Objective 1 of the Net Zero Public Sector Buildings Standard
• Health and wellbeing – The Place Guide can support local cross sector collaborations on wellbeing and health services deliver more joined up investment to maximise local benefits
• Infrastructure Investment Plan – The Place Guide can help local collaborations build clarity around place based needs, and build a shared approach to deliver on the hierarchy of investment, making more of existing assets
• National Planning Framework 4 – The Guide can help deliver place based collaboration on policies, plans and partnerships within the ambitions of NPF4 to shape and implement more sustainable, liveable, productive and distinctive places. May also include consideration of e.g. Regional Spatial Strategies and the 20 Min Neighbourhood concept.
The Place Guide aims to provide clarity on:
• Purpose – why Place-based approaches should be incorporated into the planning and development of investment in services or capital projects
• Positioning – support to other strategic change projects, incl business cases
• Governance – how all local voices and collaborations influence decisions
• Prioritisation – how a Place approach can highlight a holistic understanding of what needs to be done, how that is prioritised (e.g. via the Infrastructure Investment Hierarchy), and who takes ownership.
