Local Plan Intervention Support

Description

MHCLG supports communities across the UK to thrive, making them great places to live and work. The Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government is the Minister with responsibility for the planning system in England, supported by officials in the Department's Planning Directorate. The Secretary of State for The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government may potentially require support from contractors to provide specific background reports to assist the preparation of Ministerial advice by MHCLG officials regarding possible intervention action in local plans, in England only. If the Secretary of State makes the decision to take intervention action, this may need a range of follow up specialist support from consultants to enable plans to progress to adoption. Where the SoS is considering taking over a plan, directing on joint plan making or requesting another body to take over a plan, contractors may be asked to gather background information and prepare reports. The reports will form part pf the supporting material to advice prepared by MHCLG officials to inform the SoS consideration of intervention action. The nature of the information and reporting to assist decision making on intervention will be specific to the individual intervention action being considered.
