The provisions of Policy DM2 are not consistent with national policy on sustainable design and construction and are contrary to the provisions of paragraphs 95 and 173 of the NPPF. The evidence base which purports to assess the viability implications of the policy demonstrates that this policy has a significant impact on the viability of sites, and will therefore affect deliverability. The Borough's own evidence also failed to assess the implications of the Policy on the IGS. The policy cannot therefore be considered the most appropriate strategy.
