Summary

The Government published a Planning White Paper on 21 May 2007, which made a number of general proposals to streamline plan production. This consultation paper includes a draft amendment to the Local Development Regulations and a draft replacement for Planning Policy Statement 12 (PPS12).

The main areas of proposed change to Regulations concern:

Improved consultation arrangements - Giving the public more opportunity to get involved at the beginning of the process;
Revisions to the procedure of plan making - final representations on the plan to be made before it is submitted to the independent Inspector; and
Changing the way Supplementary Planning Documents are produced.

Changes to PPS12 include:

Emphasising the key role the Core Strategy plays;
Emphasising the need for making progress with Local Development Frameworks (LDFs);
Giving local planning authorities more flexibility to produce only the plans that are needed; and
Repackaging the tests of soundness to give greater clarity whilst not altering the basis for examination of plans.
