Regional Spatial Strategy for the South East (The South East Plan) - Publication of the Panel Report

An independent Panel of Planning Inspectors was appointed by the Secretary of State to examine the Draft Regional Spatial Strategy for the South East. The Examination in Public was held between November 2006 and March 2007. The draft plan was submitted to Government by the South East England Regional Assembly in March 2006.

The Report, prepared by the Panel of Planning Inspectors, was submitted to Government on 6 August 2007 and was published on 29 August 2007 for information only. Representations are not invited on its recommendations.

Following consideration of comments and views arising from that consultation, the Secretary of State is expecting to publish the final RSS around Autumn 2008.
