New consultation on Regional Strategies
Author: DCLG - Aug 6, 2009
Proposals on how regions should prepare new style Regional Strategies and new Local Authority Leaders Boards were published today for consultation by Local Government Minister Rosie Winterton.
Regional Strategies are part of the Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction (LDEDC) Bill which is in the final stages of going through Parliament.
Regional Strategies will combine the current economic and regional spatial strategies into a single integrated vision. The consultation sets out how the Bill will be implemented after Royal Assent has been achieved.
Local Authorities through their Leaders Boards will decide the Regional Strategy in partnership with the Regional Development Agency.
This 12 week consultation covers the draft planning policy, guidance and regulations that will establish the process that responsible regional authorities will have to follow when they revise their regional strategies
The consultation paper can be viewed online at http://www.communities.gov.uk/publications/planningandbuilding/regionalstrategiesconsultation.
