Collaborative spatial planning
The lead administration for collaborative spatial planning is Northern Ireland.
The Collaborative Spatial Planning group held an inaugural meeting in Belfast in June 2009 and a second meeting in Dublin in October 2009, where it considered papers on likely themes and a future work programme.
The workstream brings together officials responsible for regional development strategies, national planning strategies and frameworks in each member of the council. The group is in the process of considering how Member Administrations can work together for mutual benefit, subject to Ministerial approval, through a more collaborative approach to Strategic Spatial Planning on issues which cross over boundaries.
