Section 101 – Preparation and publication of scheme: existing EPB

216.If one or more of the authorities who have conducted a section 100 review conclude that the exercise of economic development and regeneration functions, or economic conditions, in an existing or proposed area of an EPB would be likely to be improved by the making of an order under any one or more of sections 89, 91, 92, 95 and 96 (relating to the constitutional arrangements, functions, funding, boundaries and dissolution of the EPB), then those authorities have the power to prepare and publish a scheme proposing how this should be done.
