Local government reorganisation in the East

What LGR means for planning and development in the East.

What’s inside

  • The confirmed unitary geography for Hertfordshire, Essex, Norfolk and Suffolk — and why Cambridgeshire and Peterborough is still waiting
  • Live legal challenges in Essex, Norfolk and Suffolk, and what they could do to the timetable
  • Both timelines side by side — reorganisation and devolution — through to vesting day in April 2028
  • The political read on each new authority, including the green belt battle lines across South West Hertfordshire
  • What the change of government means for devolution, spatial development strategies and the return of strategic planning

Written by the DevComms East team, drawing on the government's announcements, the proposals councils submitted, and the political control picture in each area.
