ABSTRACT
Local plans (district-wide plans), are prepared by the districts within each county planning authority, alternatively know as ‘shire counties’. The responsibility for doing so is contained in ss 1(3), 5(c) and Sched 1, para 2(b). It is re-emphasised that district-wide local plans are not prepared by the metropolitan districts who have the responsibility for producing the ‘hybrid’ UDP (see para 3.15 for details).
