Summary

This consultation sets out and seeks views on the proposals contained in the SNR for putting in place reforms that would:

  • streamline the regional tier, introducing integrated strategies and giving the regional development agencies (RDAs) lead responsibility for regional planning
  • strengthen the local authority role in economic development, including a new statutory duty to assess local economic conditions
  • support collaboration by local authorities across economic areas

While this consultation will be of particular interest to those agencies and authorities directly affected by the proposed changes to structures and working relationships, the impact of the changes will be much further reaching. The private sector, in particular, may find less of direct relevance in the content of this consultation but the consequences of the changes will be positive for business.
