Respondent: Persimmon Homes

Legally compliant? No

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

NPPF confirms the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not trump the statutory presumption in favour of the development plan set out in s38(6) of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004. The wording is detailed at paragraph 2.2 of the final draft of the Core strategy. As such the inclusion of the model wording in Local Plans is no longer required. It is reasonable to consider that policy CS1 is not consistent with the National Policy and should be removed, in addition no robust justification for its continued inclusion has been provided. Persimmon also endorse the statements made by the HBF.

Change suggested by respondent:

CS1 should be removed.
