The following local planning authorities are still processing their local plans or UDPs under the transitional arrangements:

Swale LP (inspector's report expected in October and adoption after that);

Warwick LP (adoption expected August);

Bath and NE Somerset LP (adoption expected September);

Caradon LP (adoption expected September);

North Kesteven LP (adoption expected in September);

Sunderland UDP (adoption expected in November).

Adoption of local plans/UDPs is in the gift of councils and therefore these expected timings—and their implementation—are entirely subject to confirmation by the councils concerned.

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government which local planning authorities in each (a) region and (b) county ceased work on the reviews of their local plans or unitary development plans on the announcement of the intended introduction of local development frameworks; and what the year of adoption was of their preceding adopted local plan. (152745)

The following table provides a list of those authorities who our regional Government offices consider to have ceased work on local plans or UDPs on the announcement of the intended introduction of LDFs and the adoption date of the local plan/UDP which was in force at the time.
