Plan-making bodies can therefore identify locally important heritage assets in their area.

Good practice and lessons learned from those projects will be shared with all local authorities.</p> answering member constituency Bishop Auckland answering member printed Dehenna Davison question first answered 24/10/2022 15:18:57 answering member 4737 label Biography information for Dehenna Davison

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/10/2022 answer text <p>The duty to cooperate is widely agreed not to have achieved this objective.  Therefore, the duty will be abolished by the current draft of the Levelling Up and Regeneration Bill, and replaced by a more flexible requirement for authorities to align emerging plan proposals with neighbouring planning authorities and other public bodies and infrastructure providers where relevant.</p><p>The new policy requirement will be an important element of local plan examinations by a planning inspector, who can form a planning judgement on the proposals put forward.</p><p>This policy requirement is still being developed and is intended to be set out in a revised National Planning Policy Framework, which will be subject to further consultation in due course.  However, the important difference is that as a policy requirement, shortcomings in alignment can be capable of being rectified by the planning authority or inspector, whereas under the current duty to cooperate, failures result in the failure of the local plan.</p> answering member constituency North East Derbyshire answering member printed Lee Rowley question first answered 24/10/2022 15:30:25 answering member 4652 label Biography information for Lee Rowley
