The policy should go further in its approach to ensuring the delivery of sustainable development is consistent with a localised approach to assessing development proposals in line with the ethos of achieving the delivery of sustainable development as required by the NPPF2019 which is key to assessing planning proposals and should be reflected in the policy wording linked to the vision and objectives of the Plan. Refer to the Sustainable Development Statement in the draft Durham Local Plan currently subject to examination. It is a local approach to how development proposals will be considered against the NPPF presumption.
Gladman refer to the Sustainable Development Statement contained in the draft Durham Local Plan currently subject to examination. This is an effective example of a local approach of how development proposals will be considered against the presumption outlined in national policy. It is recommended that similar criteria that are relevant to Ipswich be included in the policy wording to demonstrate how a localised approach will be taken through the development management process.
