108 Section 14 Implementation, Monitoring and Review 14.4 Implementation is principally a local or sub-regional issue but there is also the need for high-level regional co-ordinating arrangements with the membership and status to prepare a region-wide Implementation Plan and broad prioritised infrastructure budget, secure sufficient funding, ensure its delivery and broker and find solutions in the case of conflicts. 14.5 The Regional Partnership Group has been established bringing together EEDA, EERA, the ten Local Area Agreement groupings and key regional agencies. Alongside it the region has put in place a small number of delivery partnerships including the Regional Housing Delivery Group, Regional Transport Forum and Sustainable Communities Delivery Group. This structure will drive implementation at the regional level working with the established sub-regional bodies in the Thames Gateway and Milton Keynes South Midland growth areas – the Thames Gateway Strategic Partnership and Thames Gateway South Essex Partnership in regard to South Essex and Milton Keynes South Midland Inter Regional Board in regard to Luton and Bedfordshire. 14.6 In parallel with the Secretary of State publishing this RSS revision, EERA is publishing an interim RSS Implementation Plan, including an implementation schedule setting out responsibility for delivering the Plan’s policies. This builds on Appendix F in the Regional Assembly’s original Draft East of England Plan and subsequent work by the Assembly and partners. 14.7 In the light of the Sub National Review of Economic Development and Regeneration EERA and EEDA are developing a joint implementation plan for delivering both the RSS and the 2008 Regional Economic Strategy. The objective is to agree it through the Regional Partnership Group following publication of this RSS Review and the 2008 RES Review. It would then be kept under review and its implementation overseen through the Regional Partnership Group and the region’s delivery partnerships, with performance monitored through the Annual Monitoring Report. 14.8 Translating this RSS into locationally specific policies and proposals through Local Development Documents to efficient timetables and identifying any critical infrastructure or service milestones are extremely important given the need for a step change in the delivery rate. This will be particularly important for the sub-regions and key centres of development and change where much of the region’s development will be focussed but also for the rest of the region. Local Planning Authorities should see this as a major priority to be pursued with urgency. The Government Office will work with them to agree the appropriate approach in each local area and will monitor performance to ensure the avoidance of slippage in preparation programmes. 14.9 Driving and coordination of delivery is essential. Local delivery vehicles and local delivery partnerships have a major role to play in ensuring the effective implementation of approved development proposals in the major development locations. Their roles, functions and composition should be locally determined and will vary according to circumstances. Considerable effort has been put in by EEDA, English Partnerships, the local authorities and others to establish a network of local delivery vehicles and local delivery partnerships within the region – the Urban Development Corporation in Thurrock, the Urban Regeneration Companies in Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft, Peterborough, and Southend, the partnership local delivery vehicles in Basildon, Bedford, Cambridge and Harlow together with that being established for Luton and South Bedfordshire and local delivery partnerships, such as those in Greater Norwich, Haven Gateway and Thetford. 14.10 The local delivery vehicles and partnerships need to be strong enough to meet the nature and scale of the local challenges. In the light of the additional key centres for development and change identified through this RSS, consideration should be given to whether further such bodies are needed, whether the remit of any existing bodies need to be revised, and whether there is a case for one or more bodies covering a number of the key centres.
East of England Plan 109 POLICY IMP2: Monitoring the RSS Annual monitoring will track the delivery of development and the related components of sustainable communities, focusing particularly on: • Progress towards delivery of infrastructure necessary to support development and economic success; • Progress in the delivery of housing and evidence of housing need and housing market conditions, including affordability; • Progress in the development of the region’s economy, in particular the growth of employment and its alignment with housing and population growth; and • Delivery of the environmental and other objectives of the RSS, in particular with regard to water consumption, waste water and emissions. The results of such monitoring should be considered through the regional co-ordinating arrangements referred to in Policy IMP1, which will consider any need to review regional budgets and other aspects of implementation. 14.11 The plan, monitor and manage approach lies at the heart of the RSS and its implementation through Local Development Documents, transport plans and other means. Its outputs must be monitored in accordance with statutory requirements. To comply with these EERA has published annual monitoring reports since 2001 (available on its website). Working with the regional coordinating arrangements referred to in IMP1, EERA should consider whether its findings indicate a need for action(s) to secure the implementation of the RSS and/or its policies to be reviewed. In this way a check is kept on whether the strategy is working and any changes are necessary. 14.12 EERA’s approach to monitoring the RSS should accord with the good practice set out in Regional Spatial Strategy Monitoring; a good practice guide (ODPM December 2005), the principles set out in PPS11 – Regional Planning (ODPM September 2004) and the Town and Country Planning (Regional Planning) regulations. 14.13 EERA should keep its monitoring arrangements under review, in liaison with local authorities and other partners. A particular aim will be to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of monitoring by ensuring that reliable and appropriate indicators are set and mechanisms put in place to collect data. In addition to the matters identified in Policy IMP2, the following areas require further development: • an analytical process which addresses the key relationships and linkages between different policy areas (e.g. houses, jobs and infrastructure); • closer links between the processes for monitoring RSS and Local Development Documents; • closer links between the processes for monitoring RSS and other regional strategies (e.g. the Regional Housing Strategy, the Regional Economic Strategy, local transport plans); • trajectories for the carbon performance of new development; • sub-regional monitoring and closer working with neighbouring regions where sub-regions cross regional boundaries. 14.14 EERA’s Monitoring Framework, published with its Implementation Plan, sets out provisional output indicators and targets related to the draft RSS objectives and policies and contextual indicators to assist understanding of the evolving context in which the RSS operates. Where appropriate they reflect the national set of output indicators. So far as possible the targets are SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time-bound) but in some case further information is needed before they can be defined precisely.
