Regional Transport Strategy

The East of England Regional Assembly (EERA) has produced a draft Regional Transport Strategy (RTS) integrated with the Regional Spatial Strategy (RSS) in a document called the East of England Plan. The strategy was developed by EERA with the participation of a wide range of stakeholders. The Draft East of England Plan was published for Consultation in December 2004 and will be the subject of an Examination in Public in September 2005.

The Regional Assembly, or Regional Planning Body in each region in England, has to produce a Regional Transport Strategy as part of its Regional Spatial Strategy. The Regional Transport Strategy is shaped by the delivery programmes of the Highways Agency and Network Rail and influences Local Transport Plans. A Regional Transport Strategy is a statutory requirement of the planning system, as set out in the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act of 2004. More information on the national picture

The Government Office for the East of England was involved with the production of the draft RTS, participating on the Transport Strategy working group set up by EERA.

The Highways Agency has been undertaking modelling work which identifies the effect of the Regional Spatial Strategy on the transport infrastructure in the region (with and without the RTS).

The Strategic Rail Authority is producing a Regional Planning Assessment (RPA) for the East of England.
