East Midlands Integrated Toolkit

Welcome to the East Midlands Integrated Toolkit

The East Midlands Integrated Toolkit (EMIT) has been developed to assist decision makers, planners and developers throughout the region to evaluate the impacts of their plans, policies and projects on the region’s sustainable development objectives. These objectives are set out in the Integrated Regional Strategy (IRS), the sustainable development framework for the region.

The toolkit has been developed through collaborative action between partners in the region as well as broad consultations with stakeholders. It covers sustainability issues such as climate change impacts, protection of the rural landscape, health impacts and social equity issues. It aims to provide information to help activities in the region contribute towards an improved and sustained sense of human well being.

Please note that the toolkit is an aid to decision making and does not therefore provide prescriptive solutions. Any responsibility for actions taken as a result of using it lies with its users.
