Regional Strategies have been revoked under s79(6) of the Local Democracy Economic Development and Construction Act 2009 and no longer form part of the development plan for the purposes of s38(6) of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004.
Guidance that covers the period between revocation of Regional Strategies and legislation to abolish them altogether has been issued to the chief planning officers.
The Policy Statement on Regional Strategies (February 2010) is cancelled, and references to Regional Strategies in other Policy Statements are no longer valid. But all other PPSs will continue to apply until they are replaced by the National Planning Framework.
PREVIOUS TO JULY 6th 2010
The objective of the Regional Spatial Strategy (RSS) was to contribute to the achievement of sustainable development.
The RSS, incorporating a Regional Transport Strategy (RTS), provided a broad development strategy for the region for a 15 to 20 year period. The RSS also informed the preparation of Local Development Documents (LDDs), Local Transport Plans (LTPs) and regional and sub-regional strategies and programmes that have a bearing on land use activities.
