Planning

The West Midlands Regional Assembly (as the Regional Planning Body) is responsible for developing and co-ordinating a strategic vision for improving the quality of life in the region. The Assembly is also responsible for setting priorities and delivering regional strategies, including the West Midlands Spatial Strategy.

The West Midlands Regional Spatial Strategy sets an ambitious agenda and covers subjects ranging from housing, economic development and the built, historic and natural environment, to renewable energy, minerals, waste and transport. The Strategy also guides the preparation of local authority development plans and local transport plans.

The Assembly established the Regional Planning Partnership to set planning priorities for the Region and aid the implementation of the West Midlands Spatial Strategy.
