Edinburgh is the first case study, as it \u2018  remains a model of sustainable urban design&#8230; \u00a0Although designed as a  residential suburb, generous sized rooms and robust construction  techniques have allowed many homes to be converted into shops, offices,  studios and other uses, creating a sustainable mixed use neighbourhood.  The pedestrian-friendly streets, a good range of services and amenities  and large windows looking out over the streets help create a sense of  safety and community&#8230;\u2019<br \/>\nAction 3.2 says: \u2018Developing new planning  policy on the historic environment: Existing planning policy guidance  already lays out the need for planning authorities to ensure that the  historic environment is conserved and, where appropriate, enhanced  (PPG15 and PPG16). It has little to say, however, about the benefits of  viewing heritage as an asset that can attract investment, encourage  regeneration or promote sustainability. CLG is therefore working with  DCMS and English Heritage to develop a new planning policy statement  which revises and refines existing planning policy. \u00a0This will emphasise  the positive contribution of heritage assets to local character and  sense of place and the importance, wherever possible, of keeping them in  viable uses that are consistent with their conservation.\u2019<br \/>\n<a title=\"http:\/\/www.communities.gov.uk\/publications\/planningandbuilding\/worldclassplaces\" href=\"http:\/\/www.communities.gov.uk\/publications\/planningandbuilding\/worldclassplaces\">http:\/\/www.communities.gov.uk\/publications\/planningandbuilding\/<\/a><br \/>\n<a title=\"http:\/\/www.communities.gov.uk\/publications\/planningandbuilding\/worldclassplaces\" href=\"http:\/\/www.communities.gov.uk\/publications\/planningandbuilding\/worldclassplaces\">worldclassplaces<\/a><br \/>\n<a title=\"http:\/\/www.cabe.org.uk\/news\/vision-for-world-class-places\" href=\"http:\/\/www.cabe.org.uk\/news\/vision-for-world-class-places\">http:\/\/www.cabe.org.uk\/news\/vision-for-world-class-places<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CLG has set out a vision for world class places with a new strategy on improving quality of place.
