Challenges - covers the Plan’s overall task including its issues and challenges, cross-cutting themes and its parameters and principles.

Section D - The Regional Policy Framework is structured into two sections. The first part (D1) consists of those policies that cover themes that apply to all aspects of the Plan, within the framework of the overall vision and core strategy. They can therefore be described as ‘cross-cutting’.
The second section (D2-D11) sets out the policies for specific topic areas. In both

Section E - Sub-regional Policy Framework, the South East is a varied region so it is not adequate simply to adopt policies covering the whole region. The Plan therefore proposes a set of nine sub-regions where the majority of development will be concentrated. Each sub-region has distinctive issues that need to be addressed and the Plan sets out strategies for each area. Sub-regional strategies have been developed jointly with the South East’s principal planning authorities. The Isle of Wight has also been designated a special policy area.

Draft South East Plan - Monitoring Framework

Draft South East Plan - Implementation Plan
The Implementation Plan is an integral element of the draft South East Plan and is, in effect, a business plan for the South East. It identifies what needs to happen, when it needs to happen and who needs to take the action. More work is required to develop the fullest possible understanding of the infrastructure requirements. This work is ongoing. A refined and enhanced version of the Implementation Plan will be submitted by the Regional Assembly prior to the Examination in Public. A seperate Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation Implementation Plan has also been produced as part of our supporting information for the Plan.
