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 2005, on a gross attributable basis.
Experience shows that outputs of this type are not delivered equally across the year. For example, programmes enabling the remediation of Brownfield land tend to deliver the majority of their outputs towards the end of the financial year. It should also be noted that the targets for the London Development Agency are set by the Mayor of London in the term of a single figure rather than a range.
The reported outputs for 2005/06 will also be disaggregated on a rural/urban basis and by disadvantaged areas, as required by the Tasking Framework.

5 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 are expected to contribute at least 1,100 hectares per annum to this total, 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.
