This change introduces a rather vague reference to 'community development' with no definition provided as to what this means in this context. This contravenes §154 of the [National Planning Policy] Framework.
Clarity is important because this section of the policy outlines where new development will be focussed. It has a strong 'geographic' thrust, so it is unclear how the reference to supporting community development fits with this.
The aim of ensuring that new development promotes wellbeing and social inclusion is already embedded within national policy.
