Debate

Planning and Infrastructure Bill

Contribution

In other areas, new strategic authorities are being set up, or will be set up from next year, and will have a period when they gear up for delivery. In other parts of the country where new strategic authorities may be further off, SDSs will be produced by partnerships of county councils and/or unitary authorities operating under a strategic planning board. The Government will work with and support all areas to begin their SDS as soon as possible, but this will have to be a tailored approach, recognising the particular circumstances in different parts of the country.
