South East England Development Agency (SEEDA)

On planning aspects, SEEDA co-operates with planning authorities to define their economic goals for Local Development Frameworks (LDFs). It is important that SEEDA engages in this process, not least, to ensure the potential of strategic development sites. SEEDA consulted Local Planning Authorities on a Draft Advice Note to identify how the Agency can assist planning authorities in developing LDF's and how planning authorities can assist in delivering the Regional Economic
Strategy (RES).
