Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Duty to co-operate is not met as the Plan fails to properly set out a long term strategy to meet future development needs, the Council has not adequately engaged in co-operation with neighbouring authorities in advance of the preparation of the Plan.

There is a recognition that the Council has not met the requirement under toe NPPF to identify sufficient sites, and that the Council and its neighbouring authorities so need to work together to achieve a robust strategy and there is an admission that the work that is needed hasn't been done yet.
