Stage 2 - Evidence Base
The evidence base for the new SCS is a web based resource that uses statistical evidence to highlight the key issues facing Devon. This ensures that the Sustainable Community Strategy for Devon is based on issues grounded in fact and research, as well as on public consultation and experience and the vision.
The evidence base identifies issues based on existing themes, together with issues raised by district community strategies, market town information, agency and local authority strategic priorities, and regional plans. Issues are analysed across themes to allow cross cutting themes that are vital to partnership working to be identified:
