Regional planning body

These are responsible for setting priorities and preparing certain regional plans and strategies, in particular the Regional Spatial Strategy. As with the Regional Housing Board, the Regional Planning Body also currently sits under the structure of the Regional Assemblies.

Further information

The Regional Planning Body (RPB) for each region is responsible for reviewing the ‘Regional Spatial Strategy' and preparing draft revisions in partnership with local and regional stakeholders. Once the RPB has prepared the draft strategy, it publishes it for at least 12 weeks' public consultation.

For an example of an RPB, see the East Midlands Regional Assembly website.
