Preparing a local economic assessment
Sector-led draft guidance on local economic assessments.
The IDeA (now Local Government Improvement and Development) and Planning Advisory Service (PAS) are pleased to announce the posting of the sector-led guidance on local economic assessments (LEAs).
This has been developed by consultants – Rocket Science and Globe Regeneration – working with an action learning set (ALS) of 17 local authorities. It has been prepared in liaison with many partner organisations, including the Office for National Statistics (ONS) and Communities and Local Government, and provides a detailed and comprehensive 'how to' guide to producing LEAs.
We recommend that local authorities start their assessments before the duty commences, which is likely to be April 2010. The government's draft statutory guidance is expected to be issued for consultation in the near future.
