It is my understanding that, like anyone else, the LDA will be governed by and have to comply with local area plans, county development plans, regional spatial strategies and national planning frameworks.

I have a question on engagement with members. The AILG and LAMA provide good training days and briefings for councillors. Has the LDA attended any of those? Is it proposed to have more? The LDA would be willing to engage. Engagement between the LDA and elected members would be an important part of this process. Have there been more of those days?
