New directions in UK strategic planning - from land use plans to spatial development strategies

Counsell, D.

New directions in UK strategic planning - from land use plans to spatial development strategies - 2003 - Town & Country Planning 72(1) January 2003, 15-19(4) .

Examines new directions in UK planning proposed for 2004 noting this is a chance to look at integrated spatial strategies. Under the new schema regional planning guidance (RPG) will be replaced by a single-tier system called regional spatial strategies (RSSs) prepared by regional bodies which will be enforced to contribute to sustainable development. RSSs will in future incorporate transport strategies. Spatial strategies owe much to the EU work on the European Development Perspective.
