Code of Practice for Council Members

16 Code of Practice for Council Members 13 The CMP is developed in various stages through an integrated approach led by a multi-disciplinary team of planning, engineering, transport and landscape consultants. The diverse views and priorities of the University community, which were expressed in a series of stakeholder engagement events, including workshops, meetings and view collection forums, were taken into account. The vision of the CMP is to enable the University to be an exemplar of sustainable development by balancing the enhancement of its campus environment with the conservation of its natural heritage. Six planning precepts are developed and agreed to be vital to the CMP. The precepts provide a planning framework for the entire campus development for the years leading up to 2021 so that: places for academic and other activities would be clearly defined and planned; student life would be enhanced by building up the Colleges; the campus should be made pedestrian-friendly; places that are highly valued and are of historical importance should be conserved; the landscape of the campus should be of vital importance and enhanced; and building a sustainable campus would be an aim of the University. Each precept will rely on the collective contribution of the other precepts to bring about the full benefits of sustainable growth of the University campus. The Council approved the CMP and the CMP report is made available to public on the University’s website.
