A3. Future Role of the RAWPs
Joint
Voluntary Arrangements of Local Authorities
The technical
Secretariat of the RAWPs will administer the arrangements for
establishing joint voluntary arrangements of local authoritiesto
assess the draft Regional Technical Statement for Aggregates to
provide a context for proper consideration of land use issues
relating to aggregates provision in local development plans.
All local authorities in the region should be represented with
a view to reaching a consensus about the recommendations for the
region in the Regional Technical Statement for Aggregates. This
will then need to be agreed by each constituent local authority.
Each local
authority in the region should then include in its own local development plan elements of the agreed Regional Technical
Statement that are germane to its area at the earliest opportunity.
If the local
authorities reach no agreement or if individual local authorities
do not accept the Regional Technical Statement, the Welsh
Government will consider its default powers to intervene in the
planning process as a last resort.
