Summary

The Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction (LDEC) Bill makes provision for the new local authority economic assessment duty. This requires all county councils and unitary district councils to prepare an assessment of the economic conditions of their area.

The Government intends to formally consult on draft statutory guidance once the Bill has been enacted. We are publishing pre-consultation draft guidance now to give local authorities and partners early sight of the Government's thinking on how the proposed new duty should be carried out and to enable local authorities to start thinking about how they should prepare for the new duty. The draft guidance explains what the new duty is intended to achieve, how assessments should be taken forward and what they should address.
