<p>As part of the proposed reform of the planning system announced in the 2020 White
Paper, Planning for the Future, the Government announced its intention to abolish
the Duty to Co-operate. We are developing our proposals further following the consultation
responses to the White Paper. It is too early to speculate about the detailed arrangements
which will replace the Duty to Co-operate. However, the reformed planning system will
ensure that all relevant authorities are involved in plan making, and this will include
County Councils, where applicable. The new system will be more efficient, effective
and flexible in the way that plans are prepared.</p>
