Clause 5 - RSS: revision
Planning and Compulsory Purchase (Re-committed) Bill
11:15 am
Mr Matthew Green (Ludlow, Liberal Democrat)
I beg to move amendment No. 125, in
clause 5, page 3, line 20, at end insert
'within five years of publication of the previous RSS, or sooner'.
The amendment would ensure that regional spatial strategies were regularly updated. They would be revised every five years, so regional planning bodies could not rest on their laurels in the preparation of up-to-date and relevant regional spatial strategies. I assume that the Minister would want regional spatial strategies to be regularly updated, and will be only too happy to accept the amendment.
