6. Killian Pretty Review Recommendation 14 “ We also strongly encourage local authorities not to make any dramatic reductions in the number of planning staff in reaction to the changing economic conditions, but instead to refocus resources on reorganisation, to deliver a more positive and proactive approach to development management, and on the preparation of the Local Development Framework, and, in particular, the core strategy, where this has not already been completed. This will ensure that local planning authorities are in a good position to respond to the recovery when it arrives, to the benefit of all.”
