Local Economic and Community Plans LECP | Guidelines 2021
Implementation Arrangements
While much of the material in these guidelines is concerned with formulation of the LECP and its constituent Implementation Plans, having regard to the statutory requirement to do so, the most critical aspect of the entire process is the effectiveness of implementation of the specific Actions contained in Implementation Plans and linked to the LECP framework. Implementation of the actions will need to be monitored on an ongoing basis and this should form an integral part of the Implementation Planning process. This should include ongoing engagement with other agencies and interests, as well as by supporting action within the Local Authority’s own functions, including spatial implementation aspects. Since the specific nature of this work will depend on the content of the Actions each Local Authority should draw up implementation arrangements to suit the content of its Plan and local circumstances. These arrangements should be reflected in the LECP framework and the Implementation Plans. The Implementation Plan should be designed to support the achievement of the High-Level Goals outlined in the LECP framework document. The plans should include actions to be implemented in that year by all relevant stakeholders that seek to support the achievement of the objectives set out in the framework LECP. This will include actions to be delivered directly by and through the LCDCs, the Local Authorities and other economic and community partners at a local level. The LECP advisory group should play a key role in ensuring that the Implementation Plans are in line with the LECP framework and have fully considered the integration of both the community and economic elements where appropriate.
