Area Profiles Synthesis Guidance TOOL 1

SUMMARY OF THE LOCAL CONTEXT AND EXISTING

ASPIRATIONS AND PRIORITIES
This form should be completed by officers who support the local strategic partnership (LSP), with
assistance from all the partner agencies. We suggest that individual organisations sign off the
document and that it is formally accepted by the LSP board as part of the synthesis process.
This stage is essentially a cut and paste job from existing documents, although some changes
may be required to match the quality-of-life themes that form the framework of Area Profiles.
Depending on the timing of the work on the synthesis, some of the aspirations or priorities outlined
in this form may be a little dated. This is acceptable and this stage of the synthesis does not
require new thinking. The workshop at the end of the synthesis process will offer an opportunity for
reflection on the issues raised, progress, key issues, effective working of the LSP and future
actions.

Section 1 Key strategic documents

The sustainable community strategy should be the overarching plan in a locality but it will be
developed with regard to the plans of individual agencies or thematic partnerships and the regional
context. In turn, the plans of the individual agencies and thematic partnerships should have regard
to the sustainable community strategy. All of these documents potentially provide source material
for the remainder of this form. The table below provides a means of making explicit what
documents have been included. Strategies that should be included are listed below:
Sustainable community strategies for relevant upper- or lower-tier authorities
Housing strategies
Children and young people’s plans
Green space/open space strategies
NHS local delivery plans
Local transport plans
Public health plans
Regional economic strategies
Drug action plans
Regional spatial strategies
Crime and disorder reduction plans
Regional sustainable development frameworks
