The “Vision” is contrary to paragraph 15 of the NPPF. It fails to identify the quantum and provision of housing and employment as an important component of the Plan. This is a central matter for the spatial strategy. In not expressing the amount of development that is to be delivered the Plan fails to be positively prepared to provide a suitable framework for addressing housing and employment needs.

The “Vision” must be amended to reference housing and employment provisions with supporting text added referencing to the delivery of 28,500 new homes.
