# The Regional Strategy for the South West (Revocation) Order 2013, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
Section 109 of the Localism Act 2011 abolished the regional planning tier by repealing Part 5 of the Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Act 2009 (which only applied in relation to England). This includes the removal of the responsible regional authorities. Section 109 of the Localism Act 2011 also made provision to revoke, by order, the whole or any part of a regional strategy under Part 5 of the 2009 Act and any remaining structure plan policies that were saved as part of the transitional provisions under Schedule 8 to the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004.
Article 2 of this Order revokes the Regional Strategy for the South West. The effect of Article 3 of this Order is to revoke all remaining structure plan policies in the region except for policy 6 of the Somerset & Exmoor National Park Joint Structure Plan Alteration 1991 – 2011, which relates to the green belt between Bristol and Bath.
