EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations correct an error in regulation 5(6) of the Combined Authorities (Spatial Development Strategy) Regulations 2018 (“the principal Regulations”), whereby the word “locations” was inadvertently used instead of “allocations” in relation to diagrams which may be included in the spatial development strategy.

An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.

As this instrument corrects an error, it is being issued free of charge to all known recipients of the principal Regulations.

(5)

The combined authority was established by the Greater Manchester Combined Authority Order 2011 (S.I.2011/908).

(6)

The combined authority was established by the Halton, Knowsley, Liverpool, St Helens, Sefton and Wirral Combined Authority Order 2014 (S.I. 2014/865). Article 3(2) provides that “the combined authority is to be a body corporate and to be known as the Halton, Knowsley, Liverpool, St Helens, Sefton and Wirral Combined Authority. However, section 104(4) of the Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Act 2009 (c.20) applies section 97 of the Local Transport Act 2008 (c. 26) (change of name of ITA) to a combined authority as it applies to an Integrated Transport Authority and on 1 April 2014 the Combined Authority passed a resolution, in relation to which the requirements mentioned in section 97(2) were met, to change the name by which the Combined Authority is known from the Halton, Knowsley, Liverpool, St Helens, Sefton and Wirral Combined Authority to the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority.

(7)

The combined authority was established by the West of England Combined Authority Order 2017 (S.I. 2017/126).
