Regulation 6 sets out certain matters to which the Mayor is required to have regard in formulating the strategy.
Regulation 6(1) implements in part, in relation to town and country planning in England, Article 12 of Council Directive 96/82/EC (O.J.

That Article is implemented in relation to town and country planning also by the Planning (Control of Major-Accident Hazards) Regulations 1999 (S.I. 1999/981) and the Town and Country Planning (Development Plan) (England) Regulations 1999 (S.I. 1999/3280).

Part III of the Regulations provides for the availability of certain documents. Regulation 11 deals with the availability of certain documents prior to the publication or withdrawal of the proposed spatial development strategy and regulation 12 deals with the availability of the strategy after its publication.
Part IV of the Regulations provides for the conformity and conflict of unitary development plans with the spatial development strategy. Regulation 13 specifies the manner in which an application should be made for the Mayor’s written opinion whether a unitary development plan is in general conformity with the spatial development plan and the period in which such an opinion shall be given.
