Regional Planning Policy

The East of England Plan

The Government published a new Regional Spatial Strategy for the East of England (called the East of England Plan (This link will open in a new window)) in May 2008. The Regional Spatial Strategy (RSS) has replaced the previous regional planning policy for the East of England set out in RPG 6 and RPG 9 - both available from the Government Office for the East of England website (This link will open in a new window).

The East of England Plan sets out planning and transport policy for the region and its key sub-regions for the period up to 2021, and provides a policy framework for preparing other plans and strategies.

Reviewing the East of England Plan

An early review of the East of England Plan has already started, in particular to roll forward the Plan to provide a policy framework for the period up to 2031. The Government has indicated that it wishes the review to be completed by 2011.

Further information on the Regional Spatial Strategy can be found on the websites of the East of England Regional Assembly (EERA) (This link will open in a new window) and the Government Office for the East of England (Go-East) (This link will open in a new window).
