Warwickshire Strategic Plan Monitoring

The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act (Parts 1 and 2) took effect from 28th September 2004. As a result, the Regional Spatial Strategy (formerly Regional Planning Guidance, RPG11) became part of the Statutory Development Plan, which will guide development across the West Midlands (2001-2021).

The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act (2004) abolished the Structure Plans and Local Plans, as of September 2004, although the Act provided for these plans to be 'saved' until September 2007.
In Warwickshire, the following plans were 'saved' until September 2007:

Warwickshire Structure Plan (1996-2011)

;

Minerals Local Plan for Warwickshire (1995-2005)

;

Waste Local Plan for Warwickshire (1995-2005)

Warwickshire County Council submitted a case to the Secretary of State to save some of the policies within these ‘saved’ plans beyond September 2007 - for more details see: Strategic Planning (pre-PCPA 2004).

Warwickshire Structure Plan (WASP) Monitoring

The Warwickshire Structure Plan (WASP) covered strategic land-use planning and set out the broad principles for development in Warwickshire over the period 1996-2011. It was 'saved' until September 2007, although it will no longer be updated.

The WASP Monitoring Report (1996-2001) is the first baseline report on the Warwickshire Structure Plan. It examines how the WASP policies are performing, based on the analysis of data over the period 1996-2001.

The WASP Monitoring Report (1996-2003) is an updated report on the implementation of the WASP policies. In particular, it examines the extent to which the District and Borough Councils have met their allocation of employment and housing land (based on the analysis of land use data over the period 1996-2003).

We are continuing to monitor land use within Warwickshire through annual land use surveys. We can provide updated information on request – please contact the Warwickshire Observatory.
