Anything that is in train at the moment will continue to be assessed under the 2000 Act. The only thing that will be slightly different is that a local area plan, for instance, will now align with the development plan. In the case of a local area plan that continues up to 2027, if the development plan is reviewed prior to that date, the local area plan will cease and it will become a different type of plan. It could be a priority plan, an area plan or an urban area plan.
