Performance Indicator
Structure of the Guidelines The process has two linked phases with the framework LECP and its associated Implementation Plans representing the local economic and community plan process as a whole. The guidelines are designed to support both parts of the process. Section A supports the development of the Integrated Framework LECP , which represents the strategic part of the LECP development process. This will look at the full six-year period and determine through analysis and consultation what the High- Level Goals should be for that particular geographical area. The framework will also include a series of sustainable objectives (both economic and community) to be achieved over the 6-year period through inputs, actions and outputs outlined in the Implementation Plan process.
All actions should be designed to contribute to the achievement of the objectives and ultimately the realisation of the High-Level Goals. Section B addresses the implementation plan process , which is aimed at achieving the objectives of the framework LECP. The implementation plan process will allow for full consideration of the resources available to support the delivery of these initiatives each year. In addition, this approach will also facilitate consideration of updated census data once available with a comprehensive review process required as part of the implementation plan process in 2023/2024. This review will also fulfil the review process required as part of the regulatory framework.
