When the NPPF was first published Councils were advised by the Planning Inspectorate to include some 'model' wording in local plans with regards to the presumption in favour of sustainable development. However, it is our understanding that this advice has since been rescinded and that such statements are no longer a requirement of local plans. Given this position and the fact that S1 repeats national policy it should be deleted.
