Representation ID: 22470
Received: 18/03/2019
Respondent: Essex County Council
Legally compliant? Yes
Sound? No
Duty to co-operate? Yes
4. Consistent with National Policy.
Criterion A. b. of Policy R15 states 'provision for retail / commercial use'. As currently drafted this is open to interpretation. Policy PC03 which sets the employment land allocations for the Local Plan does not include this site as an allocation. The supporting text to Policy PC07 which sets out the Plans requirements for retail and commercial leisure growth, does not list this site as a location for such development.
It is recommended that this criterion be deleted, in line with paragraph 16 d) of the NPPF.
Delete criterion A. b. from Policy R15.
