Regional Planning Guidance (RPG 10)

Current Regional Planning Guidance (RPG10) is going to be replaced by the new Regional Spatial Strategy (RSS) for the South West.

RPG10 was first published in September 2001 and set out the planning strategy for the South West region up to 2016. 

Following the introduction of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 RPG10 became part of the statutory development plan and renamed as the RSS.  The RSS provides the regional tier of the Development Plan with Development Plan Documents as part of the Local Development Framework providing the local tier.
