Common use of Joint Working Clause in Contracts

Joint Working. ‌ 1.6.1 The joint working agreement on planning policy matters included preparing a Joint Local Development Plan between Cyngor Gwynedd and the Isle of Anglesey County Council. The Joint working arrangement came to an end on 31 March 2023 following a decision by the Cyngor Gwynedd Cabinet and the Isle of Anglesey County Council's Executive Committee to establish new planning policy teams for both Councils. Although the joint working arrangements have ended and both Councils have decided to prepare separate Local Development Plans, when opportunities arise to prepare or commission pieces of work on a joint basis, the feasibility of this will be considered. 1.6.2 The steps taken by neighbouring Authorities in relation to their Local Development Plans have been noted in the table below: Conwy County Borough Council Deposit Powys County Council Preferred Strategy Eryri National Park Authority Review Report Isle of Anglesey County Council Review Report Denbighshire County Council Preferred Strategy 1.6.3 When considering the steps taken by the above Authorities, the only Local Planning Authority (with the exception of Isle of Anglesey County Council) that is about to start preparing a Local Development Plan is the Eryri National Park Authority. It is not considered that collaborating with the National Park to prepare a Joint Local Development Plan is an option due to the difference in priorities, vision, and objectives of both plans. Eryri is a much more rural area with a much smaller population which also includes part of Conwy Borough Council and while also considering the statutory role of the National Park LPA and that any growth will be met by Gwynedd and Conwy’s Local Development Plans. 1.6.4 Despite what is noted above, it is noted that it is intended to collaborate with neighbouring Local Planning Authorities when preparing the Plan, receiving their input in relation to the Plan's development and ensuring that the Plan is compatible with the Plans of those authorities. Furthermore, as appropriate, there may be opportunities to undertake studies/develop an evidence base on a joint basis. This already happens between Anglesey, Gwynedd and the National Park for example with a Review of Employment Land and Needs Assessment of Gypsies and Travellers.
