National performance framework
The LAA is part of a wider performance framework based on the National Indicator set.

Multi-area agreement
A number of partners involved in the preparation of the Hampshire LAA have also worked together through the Partnership for Urban South Hampshire (PUSH) to prepare a voluntary Multi-Area Agreement (MAA) covering the urban south of Hampshire. This MAA supports the priorities in the Hampshire LAA and specifically addresses the implications and pre-conditions for appropriate growth by focusing on the enabling measures required from Government relating to skills, transport and infrastructure.
The MAA is available at: http://www.push.gov.uk/pdf/SHA.pdf
In May and July 2009 the PUSH Joint Committee resolved to participate as a ‘national pathfinder’ to develop a best practice methodology to take stock of the MAA to reflect changed circumstances since it was signed in July 2008 . Discussions are currently in progress, in partnership with the government's department for Communities and Local Government, to consider the findings of the stocktake and to update the MAA to include a limited number of new outcomes.
