Regional Planning

The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 strengthened the importance of regional planning by introducing Regional Spatial Strategies which bring together economic, social and environmental issues linked to planning in a coherent framework.

The current Regional Spatial Strategy for the East Midlands was published in March 2009 as the East Midlands Regional Plan.  It provides a broad development strategy for the East Midlands up to 2026. Please note this is a compressed version of the document which does not allow word searches.  To download the full version please use the link to the Plan in the list of documents under "Related documents"

This was based on a draft review published by the East Midlands Regional Assembly (EMRA) for public consultation in September 2006.  A Public Examination took place in summer 2007 and the Panel Report was published on 28 November 2007 is below. 

Further information on the Public Examination can be seen on the Planning Inspectorate website. You can see the draft plan and related documents on the EMRA website.

The final version of the Plan was issued by the Secretary of State on 12 March 2009.  The issued Plan (RSS), Schedule of Further Changes, Sustainability Appraisal and Habitats Regulations Assessment can all be downloaded and printed from the links below.  Hard copies of the Plan can be ordered through bookshops or from The Stationery Office (TSO).
