118 Main Points: ➔ Structures and mechanisms are being put in place to ensure that the NSS will influence the spatial aspects of public sector planning, policies and programmes, including future decisions on investment priorities. ➔ The Minister for the Environment and Local Government will lead the Strategy’s implementation. ➔ The support of regional and local authorities will be engaged through the preparation and adoption of statutory regional planning guidelines. ➔ Integrated planning frameworks will be put in place to set the foundations for the process of strengthening, consolidating and developing new and existing gateways and hubs. ➔ A communications strategy to promote support for and provide information on the NSS, and a Monitoring Committee representative of key interest groups, will be put in place. ➔ Implementation of the National Spatial Strategy will fall into three phases. (1) 2003: The foundations for implementing the NSS will be laid. (2) 2003-2006: The process of mobilising local interests and integrating the NSS approach into various plans and programmes will be completed. (3) Post 2006: The implementation process continues with the benefits of the Strategy in regional development terms becoming increasingly apparent. The activities of many organisations in the public and private sector whose policies, programmes and decisions significantly influence spatial development must be integrated in order to achieve the NSS objective of more balanced regional development. These organisations include • Government, including government departments • agencies of Government, particularly those involved with development promotion and physical or social infrastructure provision, i.e. the enterprise development agencies, National Roads Authority, Higher Education Authority etc • regional assemblies, regional and local authorities and city and county development boards (CDBs) • the private sector, including infrastructure providers in that sector. Integrating the activities of the various organisations will require • the establishment of a clear driving force at Government level to bring those involved together to implement the NSS • integration of the policy approach of the NSS into the plans and programmes of various public bodies, giving them clear targets and responsibilities • the development of reliable systems of monitoring, communication and support to underpin the implementation process • early preparation of regional planning guidelines which will be crucial in ensuring the implementation of the Strategy.

Plans setting out the actions needed to deliver more balanced regional development must be agreed and they must specify what needs to be done, when it must be done and who will do it. 6.1 What Must be Done There are a number of overall priorities in implementing the NSS. (1) Implementation of the current National Development Plan will be a key step towards balanced regional development. (2) The gateways identified in the National Development Plan have an established dynamic that is driving development in their associated regions and needs to be supported. The land use and transport frameworks that have been put in place in Cork and that are being put in place in the other gateways of Galway, Limerick and Waterford must be implemented. (3) Partnerships between local and national government and the private sector should be established to facilitate planning for the future roles of the new gateways proposed by the NSS. (4) Local and regional authorities have a key role, with the support of government and the private sector, in activating the roles identified for hubs, other towns, villages and rural areas in achieving balanced regional development. They must arrange for the timely preparation and implementation of regional guidelines, development plans and integrated spatial planning frameworks that are consistent with the NSS. Taking these overall priorities, the specific actions that need to be put in train arising from the Government’s decision to implement the NSS are set out below. 6.1.1 Establishing a Driving Force Establishing a driving force behind the NSS means (a) Government underpinning its status and mandating its full implementation, (b) embedding it in the programmes of all relevant departments and agencies, and (c) assigning clear responsibility for supporting its delivery. Specifically, the Government has made the following decisions. • Relevant public sector policies and programmes will have to be consistent with the NSS and will be required to demonstrate such consistency. • The Cabinet Sub-Committee on Housing, Infrastructure and Public Private Partnerships will monitor the implementation of the NSS. • Government departments and agencies will put structures and mechanisms in place to support the NSS and ensure it is embedded in their policies and programmes. They will report to the Cabinet Sub-Committee as required. • The Minister for the Environment and Local Government will be responsible for leading the implementation of the NSS, through establishing and supporting the necessary interaction, monitoring and other mechanisms to ensure consistency between the NSS and the spatial aspects of relevant public policies and programmes. • The Department of the Environment and Local Government will establish a Committee representing all relevant departments to support implementation of the NSS. • The Department of the Environment and Local Government will establish a clearly identifiable contact point for other departments, agencies and the private sector to access information regarding this Strategy and to service the implementation process. • The NSS will be given any statutory support it requires. The Minister for the Environment and Local Government will, therefore, consider the need for legislative provisions to support the NSS itself, to require consistency between the NSS and other relevant plans and programmes, and to supplement current provisions in planning legislation. As a first step, the provisions of the Planning and Development Act 2000 will require that this Strategy be integrated with regional planning guidelines and county and city development plans.
