As NPPF paragraph 120 relates to allocated land and recommends the use of the no reasonable prospect test, to ensure consistency with the NPPF, we recommend Policy DM32 is amended to allow the test to be applied to defined Employment Area land. This will ensure the Plan is consistent with national guidance and adequately flexible to deal with changing market signals and needs. This is particularly important given the surplus allocation position compared with need as identified in our assessment.

There is ambiguity regarding paragraphs 9.32.2 and 9.32.4 in relation to the "no reasonable prospect test" and employment area land.
