Contrary to the requirements of the NPPF (para 15), the “Vision” fails to identify the provision of housing and employment as an important component of the Plan (para 3.1) and does not set out how much development should be provided for. This is a central component of the Plan as a determinative matter for the spatial strategy. In not expressing the amount of development that is to be delivered in relation to housing and new employment, the Plan also fails to be positively prepared to provide a suitable framework for addressing housing and employment needs. The “Vision” must be amended at para 3.1 to reference housing and employment provisions and the supporting text amended to include a reference to the delivery of c.28,500 new homes.
