Develop with economic, social and environmental friendly

Due to Sheffield City Council (2014), all the new development is required to build with sustainable and meets the challenge of climate change. This has to be considered at the beginning of the design stage because a sustainable statement is required at the planning application for developments of 5 dwellings or over (including apartments) and all non-residential developments over 500 square metres gross internal floor space. While propose a sustainable development in the site at Matilda Street, some of the questions may need to consider:

• Is the development can support and help revitalise the local economy?
• Is the development enhance Sheffield's neighbourhood and communities?
• Is the development provide a range of movement and inclusion?
• Is the development will protect and enhance Sheffield's natural environment and resources?
• Is the development integrate high quality and design?

To propose a sustainable development, focus alone in environmental issue is insufficient while may also need to concern about the contribution to local economic and indeed a gated community and guarded neighbourhood planning.

A sustainable development is not only emphasis in environment requirement but also balance in economic and social demand.

However, PESTEL analysis method is useful in this stage while to analyse the related issues regarding to the sustainable development. It provide  a framework which is a key part of advanced strategic management.

The key considerations for the sustainable development is listed out and to be analyse by PESTEL method.
