Abstract

Describes arrangements for planning in the context of changes in local government arrangements, which include structural change when a district becomes a unitary authority by acquiring the functions of a county council or when a county council becomes a unitary authority by acquiring the functions of a district council. The allocation of development plan making functions under the new arrangements is also outlined.

Document History

Cancelled because Current legislation now sets out the principles by which new unitary authorities take on planning functions from previous districts and counties, so there is no need for a circular to do this. Details in Circular Letter: New Town and country planning (consultation) (England) direction 2009 and cancellation of obsolete planning documents (DCLG, 2009).
