EU INTERREG IIIC InterMETREXPlus Project
In early 2007 the Joint Committee agreed to implement a process to assist the formulation of a strategic development plan response to planning for climate change. As part of the process the Joint Committee agreed to continue as lead partner in an extension to the InterMETREX project.
The project extension InterMETREXPlus was based around the use of the GRIP (Greenhouse Gas Regional Inventory Project) Model, developed by the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research www.grip.org.uk
The Joint Committee, through the EU INTERREG IIIC InterMETREXPlus project, has been able to undertake its first ever substantive analysis of greenhouse gas emissions across the metropolitan area.
Combined with an innovative engagement of partners and stakeholders in energy futures scenario workshops which have provided a broad consensus on what can and needs to be done to meet the challenge of an 80% greenhouse gas emissions reduction by 2050.
This work has demonstrated the validity of broadening the scope of the InterMETREXPlus project to engage with a wider range of stakeholders. The Joint Committee recognises that one authority, region or country cannot go it alone on tackling climate change and that trans-national co-operation will be necessary.
This initial work provides a solid basis for starting to develop and share spatial planning responses with partner organisations and countries and the Joint Committee looks forward to working with its partners in developing this work further via a successful submission to the EU INTERREG IVC programme for the METREX EUC02 project.
If you have any questions then please contact George Eckton who is the Strategic Planner with responsibility for this study on 0141 229 7730.
Copies of the InterMETREXPlus Final Report 2007 in PDF format can be downloaded here - file size 1.67 MB.
Copies of the various InterMetrexPlus project outputs are available at www.eurometrex.org/euco2/pilot.htm

Waste Management Issues Report 2007
Following the publication of the Retail Issues Report 2007 on 1 October 2007 the Joint Committee launches its second issues report.
The Waste Management Issues Report 2007 invites views on the main issues which could have implications for the longer-term provision of an integrated strategic waste management system within the Glasgow and Clyde Valley area.
Your responses will assist the Joint Committee in deciding whether policy changes are necessary.
It is important to stress that the Joint Committee seeks at this stage to collate the views on the issues raised, however the discussion of any particular issue does not infer commitment to any change in strategic policy.
If you have any questions then please contact George Eckton who is the Strategic Planner with responsibility for this study on 0141 229 7730.
Responses to this report are sought by 21st December 2007.

Town Centres and Retailing Issues Report 2007
The Planning etc (Scotland) Act 2006 has set out the requirement to replace Structure Plans in the four city regions of Scotland with Strategic Development Plans.
The Scottish Executive stated in Modernising the Planning System (2005) the intention that a Strategic Development Plan "will concentrate on an overview of genuinely strategic issues which cross council boundaries, for specified groups of authorities" and that they will be "brief, clear and more focused than structure plans".
Within this new legislative context the eight constituent councils of the Glasgow and the Clyde Valley Structure Plan Joint Committee have begun to identify key issues which could have implications for the future role of town centres and future retailing requirements.
The Joint Committee invites responses to the Retail Issues Report 2007 which asks a series of questions in order to guide the production of first Glasgow and Clyde Valley Strategic Development Plan.
Your responses will assist the Joint Committee in deciding whether policy changes are necessary.
It is important to stress that the Joint Committee seeks at this stage to collate the views on the issues raised, however the discussion of any particular issue does not infer commitment to any change in strategic policy.
If you have any questions then please contact George Eckton who is the Strategic Planner with responsibility for this study on 0141 229 7730.
Responses to this report are sought by 17th December 2007.
