REGIONAL PLAN
EMEL and our member groups have played a full role in discussions to develop the Regional Spatial Strategy (RSS8). The current version, known as the Regional Plan, was published in March 2009. The Plan and associated documents can be downloaded from the Government Office website.
A further partial review focusing on housing, transport, renewable energy, coastal flood risk and aggregates began on 17 October 2008 with preliminary consultation to 12 December 2008. Documents and timetable are available on the Regional Assembly website. Formal consultation on a new draft Regional Plan will begin on 26 March 2010.
EMEL has representatives on a number of officer groups which feed into the Regional Plan in a number of ways, including the Environment Advisory Group, Spatial Planning Regional Officers Group (SPROG) and Biodiversity Forum (see Environment page). EMEL also has a representative on the Energy Group and via EMTAR on the Transport Group.
EMEL issued a number of responses to the previous review of RSS which started in 2006 which can be downloaded here as Word documents:
EMEL also supported a joint statement on the need for Green Infrastructure as part of the Milton Keynes and South Midlands Sub Regional Strategy, which led to a Green Infrastructure Guide being produced by the MKSM Environment & Quality of Life Sub Group:
