Regional Spatial strategies

This firm can provide advice to clients concerning the interpretation and application of Regional Spatial Strategies.  It is important to appreciate that the objective of the Regional Spatial Strategy is to contribute to the achievement of sustainable development within a region.  The Regional Spatial Strategy incorporates a regional transport strategy and it provides a broad development strategy for a region for a 15 to 20 year period.

The Regional Spatial Strategy also informs all Local Planning Authorities in the area on the preparation of the appropriate Local Development Documents, the Local Transport Plans and also the Regional and Sub-Regional Strategies and Programmes that have a bearing on land use activities within the region.
