Duty to co-operate? No

We do not consider that the Borough has adequately demonstrated that it has met the Duty to Cooperate. The requirements of the Duty, as explained by the NPPF and Planning Practice Guidance, are for key issues to be considered and addressed during plan-making, and for clear outcomes to be reflected in policy. The Council must focus on identifying its full objectively assessed need, and justifying the extent to which it can meet a proportion of that need. Policy CS6 should provide the basis for it to secure agreement with adjoining authorities in the longer term.
