Transparency and Plan Readiness Concerns.
Independent commentary suggests the Plan is not ready or fit for me Regulation 19 consultation—some essential documents are incomplete or missing
The evidence base is not proportionate or robust enough to justify the health elements of the Local Plan under Reg 19 soundness tests (“justified,” “effective,” “positively prepared,” “consistent with national policy”).
This raises questions over whether health infrastructure needs, such as GP hubs, were fully informed by an adequate evidence base or embedded in the strategic vision.
Does not address GP shortage at local or national level. Aspirational but unsound.
