In June the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, Eric Pickles, set out his commitment to abolish regional spatial strategies, including the South East Plan. The South East Plan contained housing targets for individual local authority areas.
Subsequently, the South East Plan has now been revoked and the secretary of state has issued further guidance on what the council should now be doing (see letter 6 July). For more information on how the council is responding to these changes please see the Core Strategy page.
