Representation ID: 15594
Received: 05/05/2016
Respondent: Croudace Strategic Ltd
Agent: Barton Willmore
Representation Summary:
Policy 6.3 wording is not considered to be 'Consistent with national policy' as per the following:
Part (a): This requirement is not contained within the NPPF. Instead, paragraph 58 directs that policies should ensure development responds to local character, reflect the local surroundings and is visually attractive, whilst not preventing or discouraging appropriate innovation.
Part (c): wording is inconsistent with the NPPF (para 32), which states that development should only be prevented or refused on transport grounds where the residual cumulative impacts of development are "severe".
