Regulation 11 Submission of a revised spatial development strategy timetable to the Secretary of State
This regulation applies where a strategic planning authority revises its spatial development strategy timetable in accordance with regulation 10(1)(b).
As soon as reasonably practicable after making the revision, the strategic planning authority must submit to the Secretary of State—
its revised timetable, and
a statement giving the strategic planning authority’s reason for the revision.
The Secretary of State may give a direction to the strategic planning authority that its revised spatial development strategy timetable requires the approval of the Secretary of State.
If the Secretary of State has not given such a direction to the strategic planning authority within the period of 4 weeks beginning with the date on which the revised timetable was sent to the Secretary of State, the strategic planning authority may bring the revised timetable into effect.
A strategic planning authority to which a direction under paragraph (3) is given may bring the revised timetable into effect only when the Secretary of State approves the revised timetable.
Where the Secretary of State approves a revised timetable, the Secretary of State must notify the strategic planning authority in writing, as soon as reasonably practicable, that the revised timetable has been approved.
