Structure Plan (Lancashire)
Summary
The Joint Lancashire Structure Plan was prepared by Lancashire County Council and the two unitary authorities - Blackburn and Blackpool. The Plan was adopted on 31 March 2005 and has a plan period of 2001-2016.
One of the important functions of a structure plan is to set a housing requirement for each of districts in Lancashire.
Under the new forward planning system, introduced in October 2004, there is no requirement for a Structure Plan to be prepared. The Regional Spatial Strategy (RSS) prepared by the North West Regional Assembly and published by the Government Office for the North West, will provide land requirements for each of the district and unitary authorities in the North West.
