What role, if any, will local councils have in strategic development plans?

Answered by Minister for Climate Change | Answered on 27/07/2022

The responsibility for preparing a Strategic Development Plan (SDP) resides with the Corporate Joint Committee (CJC) for each region. Membership of a CJC includes the Leaders of the relevant Local Authorities.  Local Planning Authorities are also specific consultation bodies at key stages of SDP preparation.
