Time for fresh thinking? The Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Act 2009 has made rural land use a regional issue [electronic resource] - 2010 - Land Journal February-March 2010, 9,11 (2) .

The Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Act 2009, which received Royal Asset in November 2009, imposes a joint duty on regional development agencies and local authorities to produce a single regional strategy. Putting aside the vagaries of politics and the possibility of a change of government after the next General Election, this means that Regional Development Agencies and local authorities for the English regions are required to put in place strategic plans that join up land-use planning and economic development (including transport and housing).
