5. Our Recommendations Governance – Scenario London 2022 INTERGRATED CROSS BORDER WORKING “Using the National Spatial Plan for England, the Edge of London Commission encourages dialogue between boroughs on the edge of the City-Region to create an integrated approach to economic centres, waste and energy strategies… etc. An integrated approach strikes a balance between competition and co-operation.” “Authorities are collaborating and demonstrate how they are doing so through submitting a Statement of Co-operation as part of the evidence base with new planning policy documents.”

6. Our Recommendations Governance – Scenario London 2022 ADDRESSING POWER BALANCE “New Impartial Planning Specialists (Regional Planning Inspectorate) responsible for a London sub-region (5 sub-regions suggested: NE, NW, SE, SW and Central London) provide an extra tier of analysis / intervention where there is a tension between decisions being made locally and signed off regionally.” Currently this only exists at the National level – known as the Planning Inspectorate (PINS).
