East of England Plan 107
Section 14
Implementation, Monitoring and
Review
14.1 This RSS seeks to put in place an approach that will allow the region’s development needs to be met in sustainable ways.
Effective implementation is crucial. It requires significant investment in social, environmental and physical infrastructure
from a variety of sources:
• central government, local government and European funding,
• private market funding for the bulk of development and contributions to the provision of necessary public/social
infrastructure, and
• voluntary sector funding for a range of services not otherwise provided by public or private organizations.
14.2 Implementation will require:
• a positive approach to ensure that the policies and proposals of this RSS are actively taken up by implementation
agencies pursuing development and change;
• partnership working – to bring together the full range of organisations involved in schemes and programmes to pool
and coordinate their efforts;
• innovative approaches to development finance and contributions – to maximise the contribution of development to
meeting consequent community and infrastructure needs and find new ways of getting earlier delivery of critical
facilities in association with large, phased schemes;
• full use of available approaches to implementation, including use of local delivery vehicles to enable development to
be implemented proactively in circumstances where market forces alone may not be sufficient;
• monitoring, to ensure that the ‘plan, monitor and manage’ approach is continued, and leads to timely review of
aspects of RSS that are under-performing or need review in the light of changing circumstances.
POLICY IMP1: Implementing the RSS
Implementation will be achieved through the private, public and voluntary sectors working in an effective
coordinated way and in particular will be secured through:
• high level regional co-ordinating arrangements which will develop and secure the implementation of a regionwide
implementation plan;
• Local Planning Authorities ensuring early preparation of Local Development Documents; and
• the work of Local Delivery Vehicles and local delivery partnerships.
14.3 Achieving the implementation of this RSS at the required pace is a major task for the region, which requires effective
coordinated commitment between the regional agencies, the development industry, local partners and Government over
a sustained period.
