Summary

Legislative Background

The principal aim of the Sustainable Communities Act 2007 is to promote the sustainability of local communities, ie to encourage the improvement of the economic, social or environmental wellbeing of the authority’s area.

It imposes a duty on the Secretary of State to assist local authorities in promoting the sustainability of local communities in the ways specified in the Act.

What’s Changing?

The Regulations set out the procedures for dealing with proposals submitted by local authorities to the Secretary of State under the Sustainable Communities Act 2007.

They require local authorities to consult their communities on the Act’s proposals before submitting them to the Secretary of State for consideration.

NLJ this week: Assisted dying under the legal microscope
Assisted dying remains one of the most fraught fault lines in English law, where compassion and criminal liability sit uncomfortably close.
