The Sisters generally support this policy, which reflects guidance set out in the NPPF. However, their experiences at both the pre-application and post submission stage is one of often considerable delays and it is therefore questionable whether such a commitment to "work proactively with applicants jointly to find solutions ..." so that "...proposals can be approved wherever possible..." is achievable without a significant investment in the department, in particular to provide a greater number of experienced planning officers.

The Strategy states when considering development proposals the council will take a positive approach which reflects the presumption in favour of sustainable development however by excluding our clients site, which is in a sustianable location, and can help meet housing shortage is not justified within any of the evidence base provided or the Local Plan itself.

The preferred policy states when considering development proposals the council will take a positive approach that reflects the presumption in favour of sustainable development as per NPPF. Although this approach is not questioned, it is assumed our clients landholdings are sustainable and meet the small sites requirement for Hutton and therefore we object to the site being excluded from development given the shortfall in the OAN for the Borough.

We generally support this policy, which is reflective of relevant guidance set out in the NPPF. We are, however, of the opinion that it will take a 'sea change' in the culture of the planning department, and an injection of significant additional resources (particularly in terms of manpower), if it is to deliver the commitment to, "work proactively with applicants jointly to find solutions ...", so that, "... proposals can be approved wherever possible ...".

Natural England welcomes and acknowledges the links and references to Neighbourhood Plans, and would refer to our previous comments to Policy S1 [Under Sustainable Development the Council may wish to consider reference to green infrastructure provision, helping to alleviate fragmentation and link existing green and open spaces. Biodiversity and the natural environment can lead to various opportunities, not just for wildlife activity and connection, but also health, recreation, contributing to climate change adaptation and improving quality of life. Pleased to see this recognition and encourages the Council to promote green infrastructure in new developments to help deliver multiple functions].

Within Policy CP1 the Council confirm that they will take a positive approach in favour of sustainable development yet in para 2.4 they recognise that West Horndon has the potential for sustainable development. Further on they confirm that significant improvements will be required to infrastructure around West Horndon to cope with the proposed development.

We agree that the policy should confirm the presumption in favour of sustainable development as per NPPF. Furthermore we recognise the support given, in principle, to the flexible use of land and the priority in favour of the re-use of previously developed land. We consider our clients site, represents a suitable brownfield site which has been unable to attract suitable re-use and therefore the Council should afford greatr flexibility to its re-use.

This representation has been submitted and sets out why land to the north of the A1023 (Shenfield) should be allocated for a hospitality/leisure use with the opportunity for Park and Ride as part of the emerging Local Plan.

Policy CP1 'Sustainable Development' sets out the presumption in favour of sustainable development. We support this presumption and its explicit inclusion within the Local Plan.

"Sustainable" is defined as "ensuring that better lives for ourselves don't mean worse lives for future generations". In practice, the essential requirement is that new home owners will not be over-dependent on the car for journeys to work, school, shops, leisure activities and other services and amenities.
CP17, para 3.75 states that "All development, regardless of size, places additional demands on services and facilities, will affect their ability to meet the needs of the community." These "additional demands" will be exceptional in the case of West Horndon, and may fail to meet the needs of the current and future community?
