Regional Development Agencies' reported mid year outputs for 2006/07

Regional Development Agencies' reported mid year outputs for 2006/07

The following tables show the progress made by the Regional Development Agencies in delivering against the Core Output targets set in RDA Corporate Plans for 2005-08. The RDA Tasking Framework, introduced in April 2005, comprises a set of six core outputs with four mandatory components and each RDA has set target ranges against these outputs in their Corporate Plans. The tables show the outputs reported for the six months from April to September 2006, on a gross attributable basis. 

Experience shows that outputs of this type are not delivered equally across the year. 

Some of the RDAs revised some of their output targets for 2006/07.  An asterisk against the name of the RDA shows where the output has been revised from the target range set in the Corporate Plan for 2005/08.

A technical note defining the RDA core output and mandatory components identified in the RDA Tasking Framework 2005 is available at OffPAT (Office of Project Advice & Training)

This table shows the RDA contribution to a national target on brownfield land remediation.  As set out in the Sustainable Communities Plan 2003, the Government will, through the RDAs and English Partnerships, remediate brownfield land at a rate of over 1,400 hectares per annum for economic, commercial, residential and leisure use. The RDAs were expected to contribute at least 1,100 hectares per annum to this total (but marginally undershot this year), and English Partnerships at least 300 hectares per annum.  The figures include outputs relating to the National Coalfields Programme which are shared with English Partnerships.
